RCS newb

[amore555]

Hi guys, new recruit here

Played the demo for one night and went on to buy the game, and gonna get on to Downloading some mods tonight.

Anyway, I have grasped the principles, can set up an orbit, and even managed to *nearly* get myself into a munar orbit (next time, curse you Mun!)

Anyway I just wanted to know if I was missing anything with regards to RCS.

The final stage of my current ship, consists of the module, ASAS, small fuel tank and liquid engine, and several RCS thrusters.

Anyway, when flying about in orbit, I know how to activate RCS, and I can see the little jets shooting about when I make course corrections, however I am I right in thinking it can do more than simply point you in different directions, for example propel you somewhere?

Is there a key for thrusting with RCS?

Any answers would be great, thanks.

Hey! if you activate RCS you can control it with IJKL. Keep in mind that when you have RCS and SAS active, the RCS will try to hold you in the spot you activated SAS.

Have fun on the forums, and keep your kerbals safe!

I knew there was something I was missing.

Also, H and N are part of the RCS controls too. They push you forward and backward.
