Powerful RCS

[Zatie12]

Hi all

Can anyone advise me how I can increase the power of the RV-105 RCS Thruster by 10 times? I'm really into building large/heavy VTOL type vehicles and I want them to be controlled by RCS without having to add 10 or 20 thrusters just to make them responsive. I need to keep the part count down and uprating these thrusters is the best solution.

Is there any way to edit the part, or can someone recommend another way to achieve this?

Thanks very much!

I'd keep the original RCS files and make a copy in which you can edit the config file; the thrust value is probably in there much like other engines, but I've never actually poked around the files for the RCS thrusters, so don't hold me to it

I think in the part file you change "thrusterPower = 1" to "thrusterPower = 10". I can't test it right now and it may increase the fuel used.

I made a copy of the RCS thruster, ediited the cfg and made all the necessary changes (new path location, increased thruster power, etc). The part shows up in the SPH with increased thrust rating however it doesn't actually seem to produce any more thrust in the game itself.

Edit: it works good with the stock RCS
