KV-3 Pomegranate pod - wrong control directions
20%
Description
in the KV-3 "Pomegranate" (the three-seat Russian style pod), the controls don't appear to be mapped correctly. Relative to the seating position of the Kerbals inside, pressing W will point the craft Right, when you'd expect it to point "forward"/"down", S points the craft Left, D pitches forward, etc.

Updated by Yeah, that's basically down to the fact that the Kerbals are seated in the pod sideways. They're rotated 90 degrees around the Z-axis from where they're supposed to be. They're sitting with their butts on the starboard wall, not the floor.
Also I can confirm that the KV-2 pod has the same problem. The Munar Excursion Module suffers from a similar issue, although in its case the entire pod is rotated a full 180 degrees around its axis so the controls all feel just straight-up reversed rather than randomly scrambled.

Updated by Didn’t realize about the KV-2, but it looks like you’re right! Hopefully this is something fixable for you guys?

With version 1.6.1, there is a right-click option 'control point'. Setting this to 'forward' orients the controls and NavBall to the Kerbals' point of view.
