General Question reentry problem

[yomaha]

Hello i recently started orbiter 2016 and i try to make an atmospheric return i do roll back to avoid bouncing on the atmosphere but when i am at 60 km altitude my ship goes back to prograde position and i n can't keep it tilted with the rcs.
what am i doing wrong?

You should use the aerodynamic surfaces (elevators, rudders, ailerons) while in the atmosphere when flying the DeltaGlider or Space Shuttle.

Use the numeric keypad (if you have it) to control them. On the DeltaGlider, you may have to activate it with the AF CTRL -> ON to the left on the 2D panel.

If you don't have a numeric keypad, you can remap the keys to the ones you have by editing the keymap.cfg file in your root Orbiter folder.
See the RCSPitchUp etc. entries on line 37-48.
My setup is like this:

RCSPitchUp = S
RCSPitchDown = W
RCSYawLeft = A
RCSYawRight = D
RCSBankLeft = Q
RCSBankRight = E
RCSUp = S
RCSDown = W
RCSLeft = A
RCSRight = D
RCSForward = E
RCSBack = Q

This way, pitch and yaw are on the WASD keys, roll/bank on Q and E.
Similarly, the RCSUp etc. control the linear RCS.

Sorry for not seeing your reply until now.

I can't open the video, as it's located on your harddrive. You'll have to upload it to a website, such as YouTube, and then post the link here so that we can take a look at it.
