Jebediah, Dulmio and Midutta can't climb the ladder anymore!

[marcast]

After a trip with the rover on Duna, the three cannot climb through the connection between the Kelus LV and the Pagasus I ladders......everything was fine in a previous EVA! Will they be lost in such a stupid way on the Red Planet?

Hmmmmm. I'll have to test ladder transitions and see if things have changed.

Worst case -- your RCS jetpacks do just barely work on Duna. You will need to be careful to manage your fuel, but you should be able to fly up to that 2nd ladder either from the ground or from the other ladder. It's also possible to jump from one ladder to another sometimes. I forget the key combination, though.

the key combination is space actually, so i guess spam space for 2 times maybe?

No, it's a special key combo for jumping between ladders. Maybe Ctl + direction + space, but I'm not sure.

So...I could get Jebediah and Dulmio in the capsule using the combination jump/RCS, but Midutta couldn't jump high enough (women should better stay home? ). I then moved the lander about 400 mt away with a short take off and landing and the girl could finally climb the ladder and join her friends. The only explanation that comes in my mind is that this thing is influenced by the slope (before it was 6,2°, now 5,3°), but this doesn't explain why everything was fine in the first EVA
