RCS Wiring: Pitch, Yaw, Roll & 3D Joystick
Evidence status and test plan for RCS, 3D joystick, pitch, yaw, roll, and maneuvering thrusters.
What we can say now
Steam threads confirm that RCS setup is a recurring blocker, but they describe more than one hardware path. A complete wiring diagram stays unpublished until the starter RCS and small maneuvering thruster setups are reproduced separately in the same current build.
Evidence in hand
- The in-game Manual received added RCS setup hints in an official update.
- Players ask separately about the RCS controller, six directions, and small maneuvering thrusters.
- A single combined diagram would risk mixing incompatible setups.
Next verification
- Capture the exact game build and the current joystick output ranges.
- Reproduce pitch, yaw, and roll on one minimal starter ship.
- Test small maneuvering thrusters as a separate wiring path.
Sources
- Changelogs copied from Discord — Records Manual, RCS hint, and radar changes; not first-party gameplay proof.
- Pitch without RCS? — Establishes the pitch and RCS wiring problem cluster.
- small maneuvering thrusters — Establishes a separate small-thruster wiring path that needs testing.
- Left/right on maneuver stick — Establishes joystick direction confusion.
