[1.12.x] Benjee10's Historical Kerbal Suits | Custom Space Suits & Space Helmets - Apollo, ACES, Sokol & more! | [Orion suit!] | v1.1.0

Do you think it's possible to make a bulky life support unit backpack as a wearable prop? Something à la the Apollo PLSS, with holes for the regular EVA backpacks thrusters? I can't imagine going on EVA's without this mod now, it's so great!
EDIT: should've read future plans, apologies

Ok, I noticed a small bug, although this could be in the base game, suit models do not persist after reloading, when you return to an existing craft, or choose a kerbal who's suit you changed on a previous mission, they will appear in the default suit model instead of the chosen suit.

Is there a way to to equip a prop while in IVA, such as the "Advanced crew escape helmet"?  

I will ask Vali and see if it's doable.

The suits use the stock switcher & I'm unable to replicate I'm afraid. It has been working fine for me and there doesn't seem to be anything in the log.

Why restrict head props to their 'correct' suits? 

Because the models only fit specifically with one of the stock suit models - for example, the EMU headpiece would appear to be floating or clip into the making history or breaking ground suits.

best I can figure it was somehow being caused by having both these suits and @-ctn-'s suits installed at the same time.  I removed the phoenix suits and recovered the affected kerbals, and haven't seen it since.

I've attempted to use this mod with Texture Replacer. I'm not sure if they conflict but the suit models are always messed up. Is it known that there's a conflict between the two?

From page 1:

COMPATABILITY

Historical Kerbal Suits REQUIRES KSP version 1.10 or later, but wearable props will only function with 1.11+ as they require the revised inventory system. 

If also using Texture Replacer, you MUST turn off 'PERSONALISE SUITS' in the Texture Replacer settings in the Space Center menu, or personalised suits will not display correctly. 

Two of the included suits, the Apollo & Sokol suits, are also bundled with Bluedog Design Bureau and Tantares respectively. To avoid duplicated suits in the astronaut complex, you can remove the appropriate 'Suits' folder from any of the three mods.

How do you get this backpack for the Apollo suit?

Fill both slots of a kerbal's inventory with anything other than the EVA pack or parachute. It's a stock thing.

If this is possible, it'd be great if an IVA prop we could get would be the A7L "fish-bowl" pressure helmet the Apollo astronauts wore during launch

I think you need the science backpack and something else that isn’t a parachute or an EVA pack . I tend to use the EMU helmet on my Apollo Suits to get that

How do I use the Sokol and Strizh suits? I can't access them.

The Sokol and Strizh suits use the Making History DLC vintage suit as their base, so if you don't have that DLC they won't appear.

I have the DLC, I can't access them in the suit change screen.

You'll have to explain more. By can't access do you mean the suits don't appear at all? A screenshot of your suit picker screen might be useful.

Sure. What I mean is that in the suit picker screen, I can't see Sokol or Strizh available for selection. I also have TextureReplacer installed, if that's relevant.

Hmm - and the other suits from the mod (which use the default suit as a base) appear correctly? 
TextureReplacer shouldn't do anything to the suit picker screen, though you should make sure you have 'personalise suits' turned off in the settings or TextureReplacer will try to override the replacement textures resulting in messed up textures. 

Could I ask for a screenshot showing the problem, along with your KSP.log file, a screenshot of GameData folder & what KSP version you are running?

There's no option for me to choose the Sokol suits.
