RCS/Engine Gimbal not working for no apparent reason


Recommended Posts

So, I'm doing a career mode run of RP-0 RSS...

I'm running simulations on my Luna-1 lander probe and something weird is happening.

I've finally managed to get the C-2 launch vehicle more or less sorted out. (In my current naming scheme, C is for lunar missions. IE- A is sounding rockets/suborbital, B is LEO... C-1 was a lunar flyby mission.) Almost reached LEO in my current simulation, probably cheated out of LEO by successive AJ-10 engine failures. (Although I'd intended that to be my LEO transfer stage...)

What's weird though, is after stage sep, the AJ-10 on the lander is not gimbaling and despite turning on the RCS, they do not appear to be firing, let alone actually doing anything. Which leaves me tumbling uncontrollably just shy of LEO and dumbfounded as to what is happening. I have signal connection, I have more than enough computing power onboard (If memory serves it's 7.321t/10t), and I have the Hydrazine to run the thrusters (and yes they are set to run off of Hydrazine as well), so what gives? The 8x 1kN thrusts are running off Hydrazine too and they run just fine, but they lack any sort of gimbaling. Now, I admit I have made a few changes since my last simulation with the lander, but in that simulation the RCS worked - albeit rather underpowered, which is why I switched from the quad thrusters to 3x linear thrusters at the end of each arm for each direction.

It's been awhile since I've need to share a .craft file, so I've forgotten how that's done on the forums here... or save file if that's needed instead...?

Thanks in advance,

PS- I also noticed that my toggle antennas action group appears to be nonfunctional as well, if that helps anyone else out.
