I'm simply saying that I have never found any use for "SAS only" in my own gameplay. That's what the "pilot only" mode is useful for, as you point out. The problem happens when you have to have a certain amount of pilot torque to do what you want, and that turns out to be too much for SAS to handle. Ships can tolerate considerably more pilot torque than SAS torque. (Because if that were the case, I wouldn't have put the reaction wheel on the ship in the first place). I never, ever have too much torque for my own control inputs. Too powerful for SAS, certainly, which is what the jitter is about. We really need the ability to tune down reaction wheels. A probe core (advance flat ones) have a small torque (0.5). If you're interested, here's the the tiniest reaction wheel is too powerful for small ships. A combination of color, brightness, and some animation allows you to see what mode they're in, whether they're on or off, whether they're idle or not, and whether they're electricity-starved: Among other things, it adds indicator lights to reaction wheels.

Incidentally, if you're setting various reaction wheels to various modes, and having trouble keeping track of who's doing what, there's a little mod I've been working on lately that may be of interest.

Personally, I don't set the SAS-enabled wheels to "SAS only" as Warzouz suggests, mainly because I never find myself with "too much manual torque". just set one or more of the reaction wheels (or the command pod) to "pilot only" to reduce jitter. Or, if you've got a ship that consists of command pod, plus one or more reaction wheels, plus the rest of the usual tonnage. If your ship turns too slowly, just help it with the keyboard (which will use the more powerful reaction wheel) That was, if you set SAS, you will use the low power torque only, so your ship wont vibrate. This option allow you to handle over-powerfull torque which SAS is not able to manage.īuild al ship with a probe core with torque : set it as SAS onlyĪdd a more powerful reaction wheel (usually embedded in pods) : set it to pilot only
