Help, RCS not working?


Recommended Posts

So I'm terribly confused. I was using the Stock Learstar shuttle to fly some supplies up to my LKO station. The flight went fine and I got into docking range and started working to dock. I had kept the external fuel tank connected since it had a fair amount of fuel left and I wanted to transfer that to the LKO station. things just weren't working as I had expected, until I realized that the only RCS ports that were working were the Vernor engines on the external fuel tank. None of the other RCS engines were firing.

I know they had fired during launch as I was down about 50 monoprop, but in docking mode only the vernors would fire. I do have KIS installed so I EVA'd my engineer and removed all the Vernor engines, but the regular RCS engines still will not fire. Is there something special I need to do when there are both Verner and monoprop based engines on a craft?

It sounds a bit like your monoprop tank or RCS ports are disabled. If you right click them does it show as being active?

RCS ports are enabled. And I am down some RCS already so tanks were working. Although since it is the stock ship and not something I built maybe there is more than one RCS tank and the other one is disabled...

Bingo. More than one monoprop tank and it was disabled. Lesson learned. When flying a craft you didnt make, double check you know how all the parts are setup so you don't end up looking like a noob on the forums.
