Removing Mk1 Inline Cockpit from Mk1 Cockpit vessel removes SAS functions

[Andy81le]

Hi there,

I came across this issue: If I add and subsequently remove an Mk1 Inline Cockpit from a craft that initially has a Mk1 Cockpit, the vessel will not have SAS support once launched. It seems as if as soon as I add the Mk1 Inline Cockpit, it becomes the main part and since it does not have an SAS (presumably?) the vessel is left without. However, it should have one after I remove the Mk1 Inline Cockpit. Any help?

Cheers

Neither of the MK1 cockpits have SAS capability. They either need a pilot, or a probe core with SAS for that function to be available.

They both do however have pitch, roll, and yaw torque built in.

Well, I was able turn on the SAS in-flight using the Mk1 Cockpit earlier. A pilot is present.

Could it be that the functioning of the SAS depends on Pilot experience in career mode? Jebediah died recently and Bill is new to all this ...?

Bill (if I'm not mistaken) is an Engineer, and therefore learns skills separate from Pilots.

Only Pilots can lend their skills to the SAS. Valentina is also a pilot, so try putting her in the plane and see what happens.

That makes sense indeed, thanks for your responses!
