Is there a programmatic way to "Recover Vessel"?

[MOARdV]

I know I can chase down the GUI component in the Altimeter widget in EVA, and maybe force that button to press itself, but I haven't figured out what the method is I'd call directly to request "Recover this vessel".  The Vessel class has a boolean I can query to see if it's recoverable, but is there a method anyone's found to trigger the recovery sequence (specifically, I want to find a method I can call while the player is in Flight, and in IVA)?

Haven't tried it but I did come across ShipConstruction.RecoverVesselFromFlight() the other day while I was poking around looking for something completely different.

I finally got around to trying this.  Unfortunately, all it does it put up the recovery dialog that you get after the craft is recovered (the dialog that shows crew, science, etc).  It doesn't actually trigger the recovery of the vessel.  Guess I need to keep rooting around.

Some more poking around...  I can trigger a state change from Flight to the Spacecenter.  If I then call ShipConstruction.RecoverVesselFromFlight, in the message log I see a message that says something like "Can't recover vessel because it's the active vessel."  So I need to find a way to make it not active.  Calling FlightGlobals.SetActiveVessel(null) triggers an exception, so that's not the right way.

Looks like all you need to do is fire GameEvents.OnVesselRecoveryRequested, no need to switch scenes as it's already handled

Well, that's way too easy.  Looks like I'm going to learn something about Unity despite myself.

Thank you.
