How to use SAS without pilot.

[Poofer]

I tried placing the inline reaction wheel (which used to have SAS), but the game won't let me activate the SAS with the message "no SAS module or pilot)

You can use a probe core (Octo or better) to provide SAS.

Although the earlier probe cores don't have reaction wheels

[Poofer]

so the reaction wheels no longer, (or they never actually did) work as SAS then?

Update 0.90 made it so SAS control comes from pilots or probe cores only. 1.0 repurposed one of the science parts to allow engineers and scientists to use SAS, I think it is the old nose cone-looking science part - it is no longer used for science. I haven't come across it yet in my career game.

you must have some sort of 'command module' either a pilot in a capsule, or a probe core with a computer. sometimes its even good to have both as a backup...

gotcha, thanks for the replies.
