SAS issues: Craft spinning wildly/pitch controls always move towards prograde

[dnulho]

Spacecraft are spinning and rolling in extreme maneuvers in and out of atmosphere without any input. In space, I can warp to stop spin, and as soon as we are back at x1 speed, craft start spinning wildly with the pitch, roll, and yaw indicators ( LL corner) wildly fluctuating. If I turn SAS on, then it calms down, but the pitch controls will only allow me to point prograde, regardless of pressing W or S. Yaw works, but I have to roll and yaw to get my craft to point in the correct direction. Any pitch adjustments always magnitate towards prograde.

Again, SAS off: Craft fluctuate wildly, with no input. SAS on: Craft stabilizes, but pitch control always draws towards prograde. This behavior occurs in and out of atmosphere.

Here is a short video of me showing the behavior:

If the indicators are moving with SAS off in space I can only think some autopilot is trying to do something it thinks it's supposed to do.

I have done some more digging and research, and think that it is the flight computer within RemoteTech causing issues. For some reason, the "Off" status is still trying to orient the craft to a prograde direction...  Not sure why though. Have to open a ticket with RemoteTech... Thanks for the reply, and assistance.

I have this same problem but I don't have RemoteTech installed. I have tried resetting the Trim with Alt+x but still to no avail. All of my ships are now doing this.

When I turn off all the torque for the SAS modules then it stops (although then of course I have no control either).

Hope someone can help.

So in the end I got bored and found a suitably recent persistent save file, restored it and replaced the most recent one. All seems fine now, even with the mods that I tried removing and installing. I'm not sure what the problem was and it didn't occur with any newly built ships once the problem started. I think that something in the game suddenly gave all ships some signal to rotate their SAS's and incline towards the prograde. I don't know how or why but restoring a previous save seemed to do the trick.
