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.

== 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 Module | S.A.S modules]], the Advanced S.A.S does not apply any forces itself - instead, it uses controllable airfoils (like [[AV-R8 Winglet]]), [[Reaction Control System|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.

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 Inline Advanced Stabilizer (previously named Advanced S.A.S Module). With the redesign of the SAS in version 0.21 this part only adds SAS functionality while the Inline Advanced Stabilizer also adds torque to the craft.
