quick question about SAS flight assist

[stripeyfox]

Hi there; hope you're all keeping safe.

Played KSP quite a lot last year (albeit as a beginner) but then parked it due to work etc, but the SpaceX launch (or rather attempted launch) yesterday piqued my interest again and I just loaded it up again

I don't currently have tonnes of time to invest so wanted a quick session and couldn't remember how to get all the SAS modes? With a basic rocket, with a standard pilot there is just one SAS mode, but I seem to recall there were lots available last time I played (prograde, retrograde etc) which made life a lot easier!
 

Is it possible to have these from the start? Or do you have to unlock them. and if so, how?

 

 

Thanks

In career mode they unlock with pilot experience, or by unlocking more advanced probe cores.

There is a setting in difficulty options so you can start with all kerbals at max level.

In sandbox they are available from the start for all Kerbals

Yupp, it's called "Enable Kerbal Experience" in the advanced difficulty settings when starting a new game.

Or you can use the cheat menu and give all your crew maximum experience.
