RCS attitude MFD
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.

| Orbit antinormal | Orbit antinormal | |
