No probecore control

[DrDress]

Hmm. I have a pilot pod with a single engineer as well as a high level probe core. But when I activate SAS, there it does nothing. It's like the engineer acts as the pilot even though he's a much worse than the probe core.

It worked when in Kerbin orbit. But now I'm out of Kerbin SOI and the problem occoured (I have radio contact). I did an EVA with him. Does that do something to the controls when he boards the ship again? It quite annoying.

If it worked at Kerbin, and you have radio contact, I would check your EC levels. Chances are your batteries died.

Right click the probe core and select "control from here".  Docking and EVA's can sometimes reset the controlling module to something other than you wish.   Reboarding the craft may have switched control to the "pilot", which is completely logical most of the time.

 @DrDress, it sure looks like it!

Ksp can do weird things like that. Do an experiment: build a craft with a foward-facing cockpit,  and a sideways-facing cockpit. Put a pilot in each one. Set your SAS to "radial". Go to IVA then hit V to change who you are looking from. Enjoy the mess!
