Boarding a Mk2 cabin using rungs

[Hotel26]

Has anyone been able to do this?  Or is it just not possible?

The rear hatch of the Mk2 cabin is exposed but one does not get the Board prompt when a kerbal climbs the rungs into proximity with that hatch, no matter how the rungs are adjusted (by me).

What is the secret?  [KSP 1.6.1]

UPDATE: well, it appears that the end hatches are not real hatches; just appear to be.  Only the top hatch is really a hatch.

SOME end hatches on some capsules are real, and some are fake, and there is no rhyme or reason to it. I've begged the devs to make them all work, but no dice so far.

They're having too much fun, posting a list of Top Suckers (like me) on their cafeteria noticeboard. 

That's OK, I moved the air intake forward to re-expose the top hatch.  All my Pacemaker kerbals know how to F - Climb over the Mk2 cockpit nose to get to where they are going.

That's another thing.  Mk2 parts and ladders.  Fageddaboudit...

With sufficient persistence you can make ladders to Mk2 cockpits work.

 

 

Lots of persistence.
