I've just run into this problem with RCS. I cannot make my spacecraft roll right. It will roll left, pitch up and down and yaw right and left. I have assigned axis control on both game controller and keyboard numerous times today, but still no roll right. When try to roll right the slider moves but I hear no RCS hiss. In the other axis the sliders move and I hear the hiss of RCS. Yesterday everything was working fine. Something changed, but I have no idea what.

Are your RCS far enough off center? Is your command pod in the correct orientation? Could you upload an unlisted version and post a link to it here for someone to troubleshoot for you?

I think I've solved the problem, but I still don't know why there was a problem in the first place. Here's the process of trouble shooting: I noticed that right and left roll worked fine during powered flight. Once the spacecraft separated I only had left roll. I went back and removed my RCS nozzles and replaced them. Next test flight, after separation, I had right roll but not left. I thought WTH! I looked at the RCS XML and changed omni-directional RCS from false to true. Problem solved. I still don't know why omni-directional RCS worked fine with XML set to false yesterday and several days before. I changed some external, cosmetic parts of the spacecraft, but I wouldn't think that should cause any problems. who knows?
