RCS throttles like regular engine in docking mode


Recommended Posts

Problem: RCS thrusters burning forward like regular engine when throttle is >0 and you switch to docking mode.

How to reproduce:

1. Shutdown engine (or don't have one).

2. Set throttle to max for full effect.

3. (optional) Aim at that sweet little docking port of space station you were building for a week already, behind which cold bottle of Kerbin Walker waits for you.

4. Switch to docking mode.

5. Watch RCS thrusters burning forward like crazy.

Activated mods (in case anybody will blame them for this):

Question: is it a bug or is it working as intended (and also who will pay for those 3 smashed solar blankets?)?

If it's working as intended (I just found that throttle controls affects RCS thrusters, at least if there are no engines present O_O) - it's a problem anyway, because you can't throttle down once you switch to docking mode. At least not with CTRL key.

P.S. Possible use - for burning at maneuver nodes using RCS thrusters without have to hold any keys.
