Embaressing Noob Question

[CardinalBiggles57]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem.  Jebediah is holding the bottom of his Kelus-LV Bay Mobility Enhancer (ladder), which is attached to a lander, and when I press (F) to get him to climb up he goes up a few rungs and falls off.  Fortunately this is a test on the runway at KSC but how do I get him to climb the rest of the way to his capsule?

When this happens to me, I jump before grabbing the stairs. Sometimes it works.

But, at least in my cases, usually replacing the stair solves. Sometimes, the stair "invades" the invisible collision cube from another part, and then the Kerbal stumps on it.

Can you post a screenshot? I usually just hold W until he gets his butt moving, but you may have another issue.

Yes, a screenshot would help. He may be bumping into something, even if it's not easy to see.

Thanks for the replies , especially Mark's.  Holding down the W key makes Jebediah climb the ladder and S makes him decend!  Many thanks.
