Single Click "back to main menu" from the vab/sph

[Guest]

Let's say you use a controller, you need to change the input in the options or adjust the resolution or whatever.

If you're testing a craft you need to:

>cancel launch revert to vab/sph

>leave sph/vab to ksc

>finally leave the current game

and then come back

> load game

> load craft list

> load craft

This is way too inconvenient and unpractical, with such huge loading time between each steps it takes ages to change any option.

Simple fix: Add a "Revert back to main menu" button when pressing escape ingame right next to "Revert Flight".

Another option might be to have all those settings available in the menu when in flight.

Yep could also work

A simple "escape" menu that could take you anywhere, at anytime, would be helpful.

Yes so much this.

As a person with not high-end PC I usually play with lowest render and lowest texture quality, but sometimes I want to look how my ship's looking. It's really disappointing that I cannot edit render quality in escape menu, just to make screenshots, and that I cannot bring menu in VAB/SPH - just to know what my design will look like in flight.

IIRC, those settings aren't available in flight as resolution changes, ground scatter etc are changing dll files that are being used while in flight. You can't change dll files while they're being used. Sucks, I know, but that's the way it is.

Also, IIRC, there's an option in the savefile like 'revertToMainMenu = False" (by default). It's in the save game's difficulty section of the file, I think, with the other 'revertToLaunch' and others that are available to change in-game. Why reverting to main menu isn't available to change in game, I don't know, but that's how you do it.

EDIT - Here:

GAME
{
	version = 1.0.4
	Title = Second go again (CAREER)
	Description = No description available.
	linkURL = 
	linkCaption = 
	Mode = CAREER
	Status = 1
	scene = 7
	editor = None
	flag = me/Flags/Monstercat
	launchID = 49
	PARAMETERS
	{
		preset = Custom
		FLIGHT
		{
			CanQuickSave = True
			CanQuickLoad = True
			CanAutoSave = True
			CanUseMap = True
			CanSwitchVesselsNear = True
			CanSwitchVesselsFar = True
			CanTimeWarpHigh = True
			CanTimeWarpLow = True
			CanEVA = True
			CanIVA = True
			CanBoard = True
			CanRestart = True
			CanLeaveToEditor = True
			CanLeaveToTrackingStation = True
			CanLeaveToSpaceCenter = True
			[B][COLOR="#FF0000"]CanLeaveToMainMenu = False[/COLOR][/B]

Right at the top of the quicksave.sfs. Change that last bit to True.

To make it short, what would be nice would be full access to the games options while in game and apply those immediately that are applyable without restarting. That also depends on what Unity allows to do of course and is certainly not full under KSP's control.

I'd personally be content already if the top buttons that get available when moving mouse up would also add a button 'Tracking Station' aside of 'Recover' and 'Space Center' because I'd often like to go directly to tracking station and not have to load twice to get there.
