Subsystems provide an easy way to extend engine functionality and implement new features while avoiding the complexity of overriding engine classes or packing multiple independent features into a single class. Check Programming Subsystems article if you haven't tried them yet.
With Subsystems being a great tool, Unreal Engine Editor does not have a default method to visualize them or allow changing their properties at runtime.
Plugin provides a dedicated Subsystem Browser panel to display active subsystems with property editor.
New Subsystem Settings panel provides an easy way to interact with config properties within Subsystem-derived classes without need to create a standalone UDeveloperSettings class.
