system, which stands for “Proportional, Integral, Derivative”. ASAS however is simply either there or not you can not add multiple units to increase its effect. The SAS and ASAS are controlled together, as ASAS adds heading control to the standard SAS rotation dampening.Īll command pods offer a small amount of SAS torque, and you can add to this by adding more SAS units to the craft. The current state of the SAS system is shown by a light on your navball. You can turn the system on and off with the T key and temporarily invert the state by holding the F key (for example, if SAS is on, holding F will turn it off, and releasing F will turn it back on). The ASAS will keep returning your vessel to upright so you can focus on steering without worrying about falling over. Turn on SAS while facing straight up (relative to the surface) and then use the arrow keys to fight the ASAS and kill lateral motion. Since ASAS also controls heading, it can be extremely useful for lander missions. This can be useful when trying to make slow movements or fine adjustments. You can control the ship while ASAS is on, but the inputs are additive so the SAS may fight you. ASAS does not perform integration on roll and thus will not attempt to correct for it. You can see it functioning by looking at the bottom left-hand corner and watching the pitch and yaw twitch around. This torque appears to be under control of the pilot even when SAS is turned off.ĪSAS directly runs your ship controls as if it were pressing the "qweasd" keys, and thus affects control surfaces and engine gimbal. Testing shows that ASAS units exert a small amount of torque.
This torque is not available to the command unit for control authority and is only active when the unit is turned on.Īlthough ASAS says that it does not exert any force, this is not true. SAS units exert torque to stop vessel rotation.
