Attitude control of Kerbals on EVA

[Lorunification]

Hello Everyone,

I am playing KSP for quite some time now but still could not figure out how i can change attitude of my kerbals on EVA without switching camera modes.

The Kerbals obviously turn left and right according to the camera so that "w" is alway forward.

Now: How is it possible to turn kerbals up/down? I know i can move them by holding mod and using the left mouse button. But that attitude changes as soon as the kerbal moves.

So: How do you guys manage that? Am i just too blunt to figure out the right commands?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

left shift moves them up. Left ctrl moves them down.

Relatively, of course.

Edit: Oh you said "turn" them up or down. That's pretty key to the whole post, isn't it? I don't think you can actually do that.

Hey Randazzo,

Thanks, but that is not what i meant. I mean: How do i turn my kerbals up and down. shift and control is change in position. I am looking for a change in orientation.

Edit:

Is there a mod to enable this? I think this is a pretty big limitation since you can change the up-down-attitude only by switching camera mode - which is kind of annoying.

As far as I know the only way to do this is by switching camera angles. Sadly that does not always give oyu the angle that you want.

I wish the EVA controls were the same as ship controls : same keys for pitch, yaw and roll(QWASDE), and also the same for translation (IJKL...) That would be so much simpler... Its very annoying not to have a "pitch" for kerbals in EVA

Am I correct in thinking that you want to rotate? As in patch and roll? Unfortunately I don't think you can do that... if it's possible, i'd very much like to know, as this can cause me to struggle get onto a ladder from time to time while in orbit.
