<p>I'm experiencing the same bug in Linux, so it's not a platform-dependent problem.</p>
<p>The animation is correct, it's that the wrong RCS control activates the thruster. Steps to reproduce:</p>
<ol>
<li>Build a simple probe with a single one of these RCS ports on the bottom, then cheat it into orbit.</li>
<li>Turn on RCS and then press 'h' (to activate foreward translation via RCS).</li>
<li>Note that the thruster does not fire. One of the port/starboard or dorsal/ventral controls ('i','j','k','l') will though.</li>

<ul></ul><p>I've observed the same problem myself, in 1.11.1. Reproduces.</p>

While the particle animation is oriented as the user expects, the part behaves as if the nozzle is pointed in a ship's "forward" direction if placed in its default orientation on the side of a part with the same orientation as the root part (let's call this the logical thrust vector). This behavior is expressed in two ways: the RCS port activates when it would be appropriate to do so according to its logical thrust vector and position on the ship; and the actual force applied to the ship is opposite the logical thrust vector.</p>
<p>I notice that in the part .cfg file, the <code>MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE</code> node has the line <code>localRotation = -90, 0, 0</code>, while the <code>MODULE</code> node with <code>name = ModuleRCSFX</code> contains no such rotation information. On the other hand, the same seems to be true in the mutli-nozzle thruster blocks, and I can't find the .cfg file for the Place Anywhere 7 to compare, so maybe the problem isn't in the .cfg file.</p>
<p>I've attached a craft file which clearly demonstrates the problem. There are 80 thrusters mounted to the side of an RCS propellant tank, oriented such that they appear to point outwards but their logical thrust vector is downwards. They are all set to "fore by throttle" so as soon as RCS is turned on, the craft lifts off from the pad. If the problem is corrected, these thrusters should not respond to the throttle, as they are facing perpendicular to the vessel's forward direction; nor should they cause the vessel to lift off the pad when activated, as they are facing horizontally at launch.</p> Kerbal Space Program - Bug #27204: Place Anywhere 1 Linear RCS Port wrong thrust directionhttps://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/27204?journal_id=1677572021-06-24T22:31:53Zvictorr

<ul></ul><p>KSP 1.12.0 + DLCs</p>
<p>That was fixed in 1.11.2 I believe.</p>
<p>Retested in 1.12.0. They are working as intended.</p> Kerbal Space Program - Bug #27204: Place Anywhere 1 Linear RCS Port wrong thrust directionhttps://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/27204?journal_id=1700912021-08-05T20:23:39ZTechnicalfoolsquad@crystaldragon.co.uk
