Flag?  Meaning, to plant a flag?

Yes. The command seat allows one flag planting, whereas a pod boarding resets this feature. I looked through the pod cfg and nothibg jumped out as resetting the plant flag. Looking to make a small hopper to tag anomolies.

I'll take a look

Hi, this is a dumb question, but how do I install the mod? I just downloaded it from spaceport and merged the GameData folder with my folder, and it did not work at all.

You need to have ModuleManager installed as well.

New release, 1.4.11.1:

• Added line for the Stockalike Mk1 Open Cockpit in the patch to add a vesselType line

This was preventing experiments from being run when launching in the NSED Open Cockpit when no other command module was on the vessel.

@linuxgurugamer for us airplane fanatics, can you add this to your priority update list?

I don't claim to understand why they made that change to the game, especially since it used to work fine before - I built and used a heap of craft with closed fairings over the years. But Kerbals (and parts) exploding inside a closed faring is a very new thing. That's why this particular interaction with Take Command has only become evident now - the (game) problem simply did not exist before.

I have this problem on 1.2.2, if I have kerbals on external seats inside a fairing, as soon as the vessel spawns, they will spaghetify and eventually explode :-(.
If there's no way to fix it I guess I'll have to give up the idea of sending tourists into orbit in an X-37B...

Stock bug, sorry

Running into issue where after first spawn successful into command seat (or nearby) from SPH, and recovery, subsequent spawns are not taking place (no kerbal appears). Appears to be consistent.

I tried spawning these guys in this craft: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5wxp6v4sos9fll8/KerbAir.craft?dl=0

but get this:

maybe something wrong here in the log?

on reload of KSP 1.4.1 and try again only one Kerbal loads (Lupont Kerman):

@linuxgurugamer a low-priority feature request?  The new inflatable airlock can make an interesting lightweight capsule:

Is it possible for TakeCommand to add crew while inflated in the VAB/SPH?

I have no idea, that log is unreadable, please post a link to the output_log.txt

is this 1.4.1 or 1.3.1?

A copy of the craft file would also be useful

[inigma]

I updated my post above with link to craft file.  Where do I get output_log txt?  Is it in KSP_x64_Data\output_log.txt? If so, no such log exists, even with KSP 1.4.1 debug logging options set to flush output to disk.

Ive been able to reproduce  it, but for future reference, read the post in my sig.

FYI, it happens  with a single  seat

Ya I was noticing it happening with a single seat as well.

Thanks for the info. I also updated

Does it works for ksp 1.3.1 ?

Yes, there is a problem with 1.4.1, something changed inside KSP and I haven't yet figured it out

[Mr. Peabody]

I'm not sure if @linuxgurugamer realizes this, but this mod seems to be malfunctioning completely broken in 1.4.1. I couldn't spawn kerbals in chairs at all.

[linuxgurugamer]

I am, and this will have to wait until I get some more time .

Something changed in the game, and while it's possible to spawn a single kerbel the kerbel is not in the seat when he gets out there.

Yeah sure, and it's not a big deal, managed to get around it by just using non-stock fairings :-).
Thanks for the amazing work in maintaining this and many other mods!!  

[Catatau_27]

Thanks, maybe this is one of most important mods ever made. Congrats Sir! =D

Read a few posts above yours - LGG knows.

This doesn't work for 1.4.3.

Its amazing the total lack of reading that goes on.  In the posts right above yours, it specifically says there are problems.

I dont consider this a critical mod, so the bugs will wait until I finish with some other work

[Beetlecat]

Oddly enough, it has been sporadically *working* for me in 1.4.3, along with Kerbal Construction Time, which it wasn't supposed to be compatible with.  Some other combination of updates or shenanigans has caused kerbals to spawn missing (but do get recovered).

I'll make a point of grabbing a log right after launching a craft with control seat only and linking it if it's helpful.
