Скачать или смотреть The brown Navball conundrum - A KSP showcase

Here I try to show a common problem in Kerbal Space Program about rockets flipping due to an upside-down probe core/command pod. At launch the Navball should be blue (sky) not brown (ground). Any SAS will try to correct and do all sort of wonky stuff. I use Mechjeb to eliminate any user input and get consistency. In the end I show myself manually flying an upside down command pod without SAS enabled. It can be done (badly showed here) but controls are reversed. Even enabling SAS will offer no solution and Mechjeb still cant figure it out in orbit.

Frequently giving solutions are adding fins and/or reaction wheels. Well, my rockets has those plenty and still its no solution, later I show that there aren’t needed at all. Real rockets don’t have those things, only engine gimballing.

Then only solution is having a control point facing the direction of thrust, so either a probe core, command pod or docking port. You can make a action group for a correct facing control point and choose control from here, that way you can set it correctly whenever you want.
