KSP RP-1 RCS randomly stopped working

[Mike106]

RCS was working, I know how it works. Halfway to the moon my RCS stopped working. I have plenty of RCS fuel, EC, as well as full avionics control and signal. I've tried quick-save/reload as well as relaunch the game. 

FYI this is Realistic progression mod, no other mods installed. Fresh KSP install. 

 

Update: After reactivating RCS through staging it will now thrust forward with translation key. Will NOT provide orientation or forward thrust by throttle.

Also, RCS helper doesn't seem to recognize the thrusters on my craft.

I’ll take a guess and say you didn’t set your avionics to deep space. Near Earth avionics are exactly what they say on the label- they only work close to Earth (the limit is 2x geostationary altitude, or about 76Mm); beyond that they don’t give any more control than a science core, you can fire RCS forwards and maybe fire an engine but that’s about it.
