Is there annyway to control Trottle besides Full Thrust and engine off right now. If not hope thats gets addet in one comming update.
 
As far as I can tell not yet. We don’t get NG’s nice hovers were stuck in Falcon 9 hover slams for now lol
 
Yes, I believe Up and Down (arrow keys) can control thrust power. It seems like the minimum is 5% thrust at the moment. Check the controls tab in the escape menu for all the keybinds.

Thank you!! I missed this this will be very helpful lol
 
Since the stock craft has a very high TWR, I've also been using 0.1 time warp to get more percise burns when 5% throttle is still just too much.

Each rocket has a defined minimum throttle value (5% for the stock ones). I think they added this for realism, since you also can not run a rocket engine with to low thrust.
 
i see someone said up and down, so im going to try that when i get back on, but i thought i'd leave my workaround here anyway. What i was doing was turning time down to 0.1 speed and that lets u do fine velocity adjustments at full thrust (y)
 
Thought the same until I actually looked at the binding config. Not sure why they didn't go with LShift & LCtrl but it's easy enough to re-bind them.
