Rescue contracts

[timmers_uk]

I'm not sure if I've missed something, but on my PS4 career save, having been assaulted with a whole load of Rescue <x> Kerman contracts as soon as it was possible, I built a probe controlled vessel with a Mk1 pod to go get them (something I've done many times on PC - its the best way to get your roster expanded :D).

Unfortunately, on RVing with the stricken vessel, I'm unable to switch to it in order to EVA out to the rescue craft.

I've unlocked EVAing (and done it) in this save.

I've managed to get my head (and hands) around the L1/R1 + dpad left/right to switch vessels.

... but I can't get to that damn vessel - which I'm within 10m of

 

Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be? 

The only other option I can think of is to Claw the vessel and recover the whole thing that way?

hmmm ... quick update ... still unable to switch vessels in flight scene, but was able to switch in tracking station, at which point the 2 vessels showed up over 1km apart ... something weird there.

I've been having the same problem for 3 days and finally just now figured it out pull out your cursor and hover over the door of the craft and push X

On Xbox here, so it should be the same, save for what the button is labeled. Butt I have a question regarding this.

You have a Kerbal that is EVA, in orbit, on the Mun surface, on the side of a craft, ot even at KSC on the ground. Same concept to control them so they can board a craft?

Had a craft on the runway that I built with no command module, just an external seat, tried the craft switch and couldn't even go to my rover (using that term very loosely) by using the key binding to switch vehicles, even with it being parked just on the grassy slope on the side of the runway as close as possible. So, space center and selected from there. Just trying to find out if it works with kerbals as well, to make it easier and a lot more efficient.

 

Also, if there is a way to do that, then maybe I can test/have fun with an unstable contraption I made. Right now, it self destructs if I approach from too far after it loads in. I'll eventually fix it, but just want to do preliminary testing before I change it, if at all possible.

 you can also go to the map screen, and try zooming in to your max to select it. but if your still to close, and can only seem to click on your own ship,   this can be made even easier if you rename your ship, and change its type to something different then your target.  so when your in map screen, at the top you can make some types not appear on the map.  this will remove your ship making it easier to click on your target
