Unresponsice D key

[alfrank]

I've been having terrific trouble getting to orbit. The problem is when I tap the D key the rocket is very slow to pitch over (SAS enabled). I'm flying copies of ships from youtube (Scott Manley, Mike Aben, QUill 18) and unlike the ships in those videos, my rockets just won't pitch over. By the time I reach 10 km I'm only pitched by about 10 degrees. I'm stumped. I know these rockets are orbit-capable, so it must be something I'm doing but I can't figure out what that might be.

You might have accidentally set it to "fine control" (reduces the degree by which steering is imposed) or you might be going faster than the original example was (air resistance fighting the steering) or one thing or another. But you might also simply need to alter the design. Add more reaction wheels or larger steering fins?

how do I unset it from fine control?

I tried to reproduce the conditions as shown on the videos

The capslock key.

OK. Caps lock was off. I had better results yesterday by turning off SAS after pitching to 80 degrees and following the prograde vector.
