![]() ![]() It should also be noted that the SAS system will make use of the thrusters if RCS is enabled at the same time as SAS. Apart from the dedicated tanks, some monopropellant is stored in command pods but not in probe cores. There is one tank for each radius, and two radial-mounted tanks. The fuel tanks for monopropellant are different from solid or liquid fuels tank. In order to use RCS, a monopropellant tank and at least two RCS thrusters are needed. This article does not discuss EVA jetpacks. Kerbals on EVA have EVA Jetpacks that automagically refill when re-boarding a craft, though the controls for an EVA jetpack are completely different than for a spacecraft. ![]() It is toggled on and off by pressing the R key (default key binding). They may be set up differently than your EVA keys.The Reaction Control System, or RCS, is a set of monopropellant-fuelled (with the exception of the Vernor Engine) thrusters primarily intended for vessel orientation in a vacuum. You might have to go to your settings page and see what the docking keys are bound to. Hopefully that answers one of your questions.ĮDIT: Also, all that other stuff still applies. Just make sure you don't have other craft sitting on the ground nearby. On this debug window, select the big button that says "Hack Gravity." Now you can test your RCS without having to launch into space. If you want to test RCS on the ground, then get your craft out onto the pad. I see now you said "If I test it on the ground." I know it has to do with the position of the probodobodyne, but how can I change these control directions without modifying the vehicle?ĪHhhhhhhhhhhhhh, wait. Shift and Control don't make it move up and down, but forward and backward. The problem is: If I test t on the ground in docking mode, the RCS doesn't behave like I want it to behave. (There is no "Space Bar" equivalent for a docking ship like there is for EVA.) Edited Februby Claw In that case, you have to rotate the ship or rotate the camera to match and be less confusing. You must manually rotate them around and sometimes your "up/down" won't be aligned with the up/down view of your camera. Ships do not have that behavior like an EVA. Then rotation and translations will all work as we've been describing.ĮDIT2: And now I am thinking you want your ship to auto rotate with the camera like a kerbal does. My suggestion is to not use docking mode, but the "normal" staging mode. Also, if you have a docking port (which it looks like) you can right click on it and select "Control From Here." That will change your navball orientation and might be more useful for docking operations. IJKL for translation, H & N for in/out translation. Check your settings to see for sure what your docking thrusters are set to, but the default keys are as previously described. If you just want to move in and out, use H & N. Your statement here is slightly confusing to me. If anyone still has any suggestions, they would be appreciated, and else I will just use translation mode. Q and E don't seem to work, unfortunately. Indeed, rotation mode works fine, but I don't need to rotate this ship when I use it, so I just hoped that I could use docking mode so I can control it like an EVA. Thank you, lumpman2 and daniel345, very much for your response. ![]()
