How to fly a jet?

[masTerTorch]

Hey,

today I created my first Jet in the SPH. I tried to get the center of lift a little bit behind the center of mass. I found it quite difficult to turn the jet around. To go to the left(right) side I rolled over with q(e) and worked against the drag with w, so that the vector of thrust slowly moved to a different angle. Is there a better way to turn the jet?

It looks like you've placed an ASAS module on the plane. It will prevent the plane from turning, as it was made to keep rockets pointed in a consistent direction. Remove that and stick an avionics ASAS cone on the back of the fuselage, and you will find that SAS mode then helps steady the plane, but does not prevent it from turning, because avioinics was made for that very purpose.

Much better! Thank you!
