Looking for a mod that allows you to change flags in flight.

Well, you can always change your flag at the KSC by clicking the flagpole in front of the Astronaut Complex.

You can also assign a flag to a particular "mission" or craft by clicking the flag picture in the VAB/SPH.

As for actually in-flight, I'm not too sure.

Only way I know of to change the flag of a vessel in flight is to edit the save file:

(1) make a backup copy of persistent.sfs

(2) open persistent.sfs in a text editor

(3) search for the vessel's name (usually with the "find" function)

(4) scroll down to find the line that calls the vessel's flag, i.e. flag = Squad/Flags/kerbfleet flag

(5) change the name of the flag to the one you want (making sure that flag is in the Flags folder, and omitting any file extensions)

(6) save the file, load the game, and assuming everything runs well you can delete the backup

For changing the flag that a kerbal can place on eva, sirkut originally released the Magic Smoke Industries Reflaginator which was last updated in January 2014 for KSP 0.23. The functionality of the plugin was rewritten by Mihara and included in his JSIPartUtilities which was subsequently updated for KSP 0.90 by artwhaley in this post - so the latest version of the plugin can be >downloaded here< if you don't already have it :)

This plugin allows a flag to be chosen for planting, it does not change the flag decal on ships. The module has to be applied to a part so it can be used, the easiest way is to use a Module Manager patch, like this :


@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleCommand]]
{
// Adds JSIReflaginator to command parts
MODULE
{
name = JSIReflaginator
selectable = true
refills = -1
}
}

- which allows a kerbal to select a new flag from outside the command module before placing it.

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.
