So first time player on PC (coming from kerbal though, so I kinda know what I'm doing, or so I thought). Trying to land on Luna, and I'm trying to do my final landing burn. Something's weird with my attitude control, however. I locked my velocity to retrograde, but when I fire my engine the rocket doesn't turn at all. I am out of power, so no gyros, but if I press wasd, my engine gimbals, so I would've thought it's fine?

    Be sure to unlock heading before using time warp or before jumping to planned flight nodes.
    Heading lock will eat battery in a jiffy during time warp.

    @Toinkove I doubt that it's a graphical glitch. I lost power way back on droo orbit (yes i forgot solar panels), and was still able to successfully execute my TLI maneuver and a midcourse correction, all pointing the right way.

    Is it possible that if you timewarp Juno just puts your ship in the right orientation? it just kinda assumes you have some way of getting to the right attitude? Because when I timewarp it does actually point to retrograde but not while i'm under normal speed.
