How do you get maneuver nodes in .90?

They don't seem to be activate. Is it a building upgrade?

You need the upgraded tracking station and *possibly* the upgraded contracts building. I've never tried without both upgraded, so not sure if that'd work.

I'd like to know this too. I don't use mods. I'm flying blind enough without having manouver nodes and indicators.

Also sort of on topic: Why do I only sometimes have SAS when I launch a craft. I always use the MK1 (So far.) And don't have an SAS capable part on my craft, but I sometimes have it active and get the error message other times. I assume it's a bug.

Do you have a skilled pilot kerbal in the craft?

I can confirm both tracking station and mission control need to be upgraded to get maneuver nodes.

SAS is no longer a function of the part, it is a function of the pilot, or in the case of a probe, the artificial pilot. SAS modules give added gyroscopes for added stability but still can only be operated by a pilot or probe core, not including the stayputnik. All pilots can use it from their initial level, but if you do not have a pilot, you will not be able to activate it.

The game actually tells you, though it's vague. Start a new game and check out Mission Control's upgrade text. Note it needs a tracking station upgrade for "mission planning" or something like that. That's maneuver nodes.

tl;dr you need a single upgrade to Mission Control and another to the Tracking Station.

JEB! (Filler)

JEB! (Filler)

I'm not sure Jeb counts as a skilled pilot. Badass yes, skilled? Questionable.

On a more serious note: if you have Jeb in the cockpit, SAS should work.

[Mister Kerman]

That was almost certainly it.

Do we really ever ?

Well, there are at least Kerbals with low stupidity who are pilots... (they are quite rare though)
