Once you are in Orbit, your ASAS becomes pretty useless as the craft will always maintain orientation, corrections are still easier to perform with an ASAS though as it provides a auto-center once on target.įor Orbital Manuevers youll want to set your manuever atleast a few minutes out from current position to give you time to make your manuever proceedure. Simple way is to activate your ASAS upon take off( "t" ) then during take-off if you need to make any correction, prior to deactivating SAS confirm control menuever by testing your movement keys, once youve confirmed the correct movement key for correction, then hold "F" and perform your correction, let go of "F" immediately once you are corrected. Either way ASAS is useful for holding an attitude though - especially during launch and burns.

So the best thing is to use RCS to control large rockets and SAS to control small rockets. SAS wont turn very large rockets hardly at all whereas RCs will turn small rockets too quickly. So in order to stay fixed on a target on the navball you need to have ASAS turned on (press T) when youa re pointing at the target and you also need either SAS rings on your ship somewhere (the more the better) or RCS thrusters turned on, or both. Other than using RCS or relying on your engine gimballing its the only way to control a ship in space.

See ASAS as the software that controls the SAS and the SAS ring is the thing that does the work in terms of turning your rocket or keeping it still using gyroscopes. :) Well yeah, it's just confusing because the indicator light says SAS instead of ASAS.I don't think an SAS module with the ASAS does anything with ASAS toggled on, except maybe kill your spin and rotation, if even that.
