EVA mod?

[MaxwellsDemon]

Did I dream it, or is there a mod that allows one to keep moving on a surface EVA without holding down the 'W' key and/or shift keys?   Apparently not searching for the right thing when I try to search the forums... or maybe I dreamed it!

I think I've heard mentions of such a mod. You'll probably have more luck finding it if you just use google though.

[MaxwellsDemon]

a-HA!   Found it!   It's a feature within 'WalkAbout'... see under "perpetual motion"

[Geonovast]

I suppose you could wire up a SPST toggle switch in parallel with your 'W' key on your keyboard.  Keep things Kerbal.

[MaxwellsDemon]

Rats.  "WalkAbout" 1.7.1 is for KSP 1.3 and does not appear to function correctly on my 1.3.1.   

I just wish it were as easy as hitting [Alt]-[W] or something like that and watching the Kerbal trundle along.

Remember when kerbal didn't die when landing on their head ?

Not guarantee to work on a QWERTY keyboard

Oh, I know! You can select even multiple EVA kerbals and send them to the desired position with a mouse click with this mod.

Also, hi.

Aware of that one, but the catch there is that one has to know the spot one is going to.   :\

Completely OT, but that reminds me of a quote attributed to Daniel Boone: "I was never lost, but I was mighty confused for a few months".

Simply "holds" the w key for you.

I've found an upside-down 'D' cell battery works perfectly, both in weight and key travel.  On a flat, or nearly-so, keyboard it even will be stable without any other devices.

Did I miss that or is that new?  Anyway, thanks for the tip... downloading!

[MaxwellsDemon]

Seems to work just fine!  That's just what the doctor ordered...
