ColdEthyl75 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi, I'm wanting to get into orbit but I''m confused about my SAS system. In the tutorials, even intermediate flight, when I click on SAS I get a whole load of buttons to click on to the left of the navball- prograde, normal etc. However, on the rockets I build I only get one button - the one which duplicates the SAS on or off function I don't get the other 8 or so buttons. This is even when I create exactly the same ship,as in the intermediate flight tutorial. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Kerman Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Greetings and welcome to the forum, @ColdEthyl75. The SAS options become available with better probe cores or more experienced pilots. If I remember rightly, level 0 just gives stability assist, level 1 - prograde/retrograde lock, ect. If you are flying with an inexperienced pilot you will unlock prograde/retrograde hold as soon as your pilot makes orbit. If you are playing in sandbox mode, add a RC-001s remote guidance unit to your rocket to see all the SAS options.

ColdEthyl75 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Ah ok. I'm playing campaign mode. So to get prograde and retrograde to help with orbit I just need to get there? Edited March 5, 2018 by ColdEthyl75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Kerman Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 That's right. The first flight to orbit only has stability assist. Here is a list of pilot functions and when they become available:https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
