Full SAS controls available on any probe core (even though it should only have stability assist) ONLY in career mode

[Krydax]

As mentioned via title, I have full SAS controls available on any craft I've launched so far. I'm doing a modded JNSQ career with probes before crew and lots of various QOL and parts mods, but I can't really understand what might be causing this. When I googled/searched the issue, it sounds like it was an issue at some point in 1.11 but didn't really hear of any fixes or why it was happening so I'm not sure where to start.

Here's a pic from my current career playthrough. Stayputnik has full controls with SAS: (i also tried starting a brand new career with default settings, and it still had full sas controls)

Here's a pic from a NEW sandbox save. Stayputnik does NOT have full controls with SAS:

What on earth? Why would it have full SAS hax on career but not sandbox?

I'm happy to share log files but honestly not sure what site is easy to upload them to, like an imgur for txt files?

Not sure how difficulty settings are relevant. The sandbox game i just left on default normal settings and the SAS control stuff worked correctly, but the career game left on default settings has all the sas options enabled. So the difficulty settings for both of those pictures were exactly the same.

hmmm looking at the gamedata i cant find a mod that will cause this to my knowldege

do any of the mods directly affect how probecores work?

what about tech nodes?

I'd have thought maybe so. But that still doesn't do any explaining on why sandbox DOESNT have the issue and Career does. If anything you think it would be the other way around. Unless somehow unlocking a tech node FIXES the problem, and that's what's happening in sandbox. And removing probes before core, which would be the most likely thing to mess with probes, didn't fix it.

I also cheated some science in, unlocked command pods, and lvl 1 Jeb is even giving all the SAS controls, so it's not just a probe core thing

This has been a problem with KSP since version 1.11.   

The bug goes away if you buy and install Making History

but other than that, no-one has reported any solution (other than stubbornly refusing to use the SAS options that should not be there)

I got news for ya.... I already have it. Do you think, then, it could be the "making less history" mod? I really like that mod... It saves me loadtime and ram. But it disables some elements of making history and maybe that's why I'm seeing this bug? I'll test it out and get back to you.

[Krydax]

Yep. That fixed it. Making Less History mod created this issue. Unfortunate. I actually like the mod enough that I'll continue playing with it, and just use self control to choose not to use any SAS modes that shouldn't be available to me.

Yes, as mentioned, this appeared to be a bug that was exclusive to 1.11 without DLCs.

I installed both DLCs (it was a good nudge to get them, I suppose), and this immediately rectified the issue. Whether it was the Breaking Ground or Making History DLC that fixed the issue (Or either. Or both) I don't know.

I do not use any mods at all, so cannot confirm whether your issue would be resolved if you removed the 'making less history' mod; but I'd suggest that would be a good place to start.
