I added RCS to one of my ships and discoverd them not turning off with the Thruster switch. I would expect the switch to also control the RCS Do others see it similar and could it be changed?
RCS have their own EnergyDynamicGroup, so their power consumption should be 0 unless you're turning your ship; then they use their EnergyIn value for the duration that you're turning.
I do not. Thrusters are thrusters, and rcs are rcs. If I want one switch to turn both of them off at once then we have the custom switches in the control panel we can use for that purpose. In my opinion a default switch labeled "thrusters" should only affect the thrusters, which rcs are not. Now if it was labeled "propulsion system" or something similar then.......
Thanks - especially Vermillion. I was under the impression they always use energy, but if not I'm fine. (also the ship does not turn with thrusters off but RCS active, so they are kind of switched off but show active...)
