The Advanced S.A.S Module, Large is a toggleable module that provides SAS functionality, a sort of Autopilot to stabilize and help keep a rocket on course. The size 2 (2.5 meters in diameter) version is wider, shorter, and heavier than the old Advanced S.A.S Module. In other aspects (drag, tuning, etc) they are identical.
Description
“ | A larger-scale version of the original STEADLER ASAS module. — STEADLER Engineering Corps |

Usage
The Advanced S.A.S module does not have to be placed anywhere in particular to function, however it will cease to function if jettisoned. Unlike S.A.S modules, the Advanced S.A.S does not apply any forces itself - instead, it uses controllable airfoils (like AV-R8 Winglet), RCS thrusters, gimbal engines, and command unit torque (rotForce) to control the ship's heading and rotation, so you will need to add these elements if you are planning to use Advanced S.A.S. Only one Advanced S.A.S is needed per ship.
ASAS is activated along with the SAS system, and overrides the standard SAS functionality to maintain heading as well as kill rotation. The Ki, Kp, and Kd values are only retunable by editing the part's CFG file at this time.
