I'm trying to make an RCS block use IntakeAir

[SiliconPyro]

I'm working on a few VTOL parts and one of them is an RCS block that would use IntakeAir and LiquidFuel, just like the engines. It's kinda of a cheap way of emulating the wingtip attitude control on the Harrier. It isn't working though. I copied over everything from the standard RCS blocks and changed the part.cfg, but now it only thrusts forward, though it does use resources properly. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Here is the MODULE section of the part.cfg:

MODULE{
	name = ModuleRCS
	thrusterTransformName = RCSthruster
	thrusterPower = 15
	resourceName = LiquidFuel
	resourceFlowMode = STAGE_PRIORITY_FLOW


	PROPELLANT
	{
		name = LiquidFuel
		ratio = 1
		DrawGuage = True
		resourceFlowMode = STAGE_PRIORITY_FLOW
	}


	PROPELLANT
	{
		name = IntakeAir
		ratio = 15
		resourceFlowMode = STAGE_PRIORITY_FLOW
	}


	atmosphereCurve
 	{
   	 key = 0 1000
  	 key = 1 2000
 	}
}

You found a known issue in KSP. Post on the support forum and maybe they'll finally fix it for .25.

Wait, what? This is a known issue? I'm confused.

I haven't seen it crop up but in one mod before, and honestly, if I remember correctly, they just made the air intake resource convertible into a RCS fuel specific to that RCS block. Might have even been automatically done.

The known issue is that the current ModuleRCS, if given PROPELLANT nodes rather than resourceName, will only use one of its thrust transforms.

You can use ialdabaoth and my ModuleRCSFX to fix it.

Ah, gotcha. Well, I guess I'll just use IntakeAir, that'll work, though you could theoretically spam RCS blocks and intake for an infinijet. I'll post it though, because it'd be great to have it fixed.

B9 has a compressed air RCS system, I think that converts intake air into compressed air for the propellent. You could take a look into how that operates.

I havent looked into it much as its mainly for VTOL aircraft and they are beyond me
