RCS Attitude MFD mode provides certain attitude control with the Reaction Control Systems in addition to the Navigationi mode indicators and controls on the ship's instrument panel. In the Launchpad, in the Modules tab, Script MFD must be checked for this to work.

All pages in this MFD mode will show "RCS Attitude" at the top right of the display. The next section of the display will show what mode is active, if any and any programmed offset. At the bottom, the display will show any pitch/yaw deviation (Dr) and any roll deviation (Da) from the programmed orientation, in other words how much pitch and yaw in degrees to the programmed pitch and yaw, and how much roll until the programmed roll orientation.

This table will describe the orientation of the ship (+z-axis and +y-axis) in each of the programmed attitude positions.

Vessel orientation
Mode	+z-axis (ship's nose)	+y-axis (your head in the DG)
Prograde	nose facing prograde	head pointing to orbit normal
Retrograde	nose facing retrograde (flying backward)	head pointing to orbit antinormal
Orbit normal	nose facing orbit normal	head pointing to prograde
Orbit antinormal	nose facing orbit antinormal	head pointing to prograde
Perpendicular in	nose 90° down from prograde	head pointing to prograde
Perpendicular out	nose 90° up from prograde	head pointing to retrograde
Radial Down	nose pointing to body center	head pointing to prograde
Radial up	nose pointing away from body center	head pointing to retrograde
