To enhance realism i'm trying to configure engines as RCS thrusters.
In particular, using RealisticEngineOverhaul (MarioG) i'm trying to configure a set of Monopropellant motor burning H2O2 100% to act like RCS.
Talking about a rotation mode it is enough to set for all engine an activation group, let's say the standard 10. RCS, and set in the proper way pitch, yaw and roll thrusters to act an counteract properly.
The problems for me come in when it is necessary to pass in translation mode, because i believe the thing cannot be done the easy way...
i'm sure the answer will be "you have to configure a vizzy program"...but my answer is that i think i'm not able to...
do anyone have any idea?
thanks

P.S. if you need an example craft i can upload it here...

    i believe i will resolve it using two sets of thrusters, one for rotation and one for translation, activated by two different activation groups and using pitch roll and yaw as inputs, maybe built one inside another so that they seem to be the same

    they worked for me, but you need to make sure you have advanced properties on when writing it in or it'll revert back to normal

    @Zenithspeed is it possible to give more inputs like Translate up+pitch?

    enable "show advanced properties" or whatever and you'll get access to an extended list of inputs on input controllers, such as translate up+side+forwards, simply do something like
    Translate Up+Pitch on the rocket engine throttle input for example, it'll probably work

    @plane918273645 still with mods. I'm sorry. Tomorrow I'll upload a stock model.

    @ChaoticGraviton I love it because offer a complete panel of fuels/oxidizers and engine cycles (and still works) . However my question is valid also with stock engines and fuels

    @Matteovir using REO is a bad idea, as it's no longer supported.

    here it is with stock engines in methalox configuration

    test 2

    @plane918273645 i believe it would be the same with stock engines. if you wish to give it a try and hints i could produce the same configuration with stock tanks and engines...

    You normally would do it through input controllers, and just type in the needed activation input. But since this is with a mod I can’t help ya then
