Crafts At Old KSC Launchpad recoverable????

[Yukon0009]

So I was doing prep for an AAR, and I put Bill on the Inland KSC's launchpad.

Then I did a quick mission to test something, but......

?????!!!!!????

Bill was nowhere near the active KSC's launchpad......

Can others verify this?

Sorry if this counts as a bug report mods.

Stock KSP don't make any difference between old KSC and actual KSC launch pad, anything on old KSC launch pad is considered to block (or be on) the actual KSC launch pad. Didn't try it myself but I remember having hear that explanation on an old Scott Manley video.

I might be wrong.

Launchpad & similar are identified by being biomes. The old and new pad have the same biome (like you have two icecaps on opposite sides of Kerbin which are the same biome). When you recover a vessel, the entire biome is stripped of everything (which is useful in clearing two dozen launch clamps or bits that have broken off in a hard landing).

This is true, I've done it a few times on accident, the KSC2 Launchpad is the same as the normal one, any crafts on it will need to be cleared before launching.

Yeah, I saw this a few versions back.

The simple solution would be to rename the KSC West biomes.

Okie thanks.

(Also thx whoever mod moved it)

Whut, this bug still exists?

I once blocked my launch pad at KSC with a flag planted at KSC 2, and it was like 0.21

And apparantely it still does.....

Does this also mean that recovering landed ships from old KSC gives back maximum funds?

[PlonioFludrasco]

Could be, but difference will be minimal,since old KSC is not that far from actual KSC.

Old KSC/KSC 2/KSC West is not the island airfield you're probably thinking about.
