Action groups and gear not working on probe core based vehicles

[Jason_25]

When I use a vehicle that has no crew but only probe cores this vehicle is treated more like a rocket.  Tapping g to actuate the gear has no effect.  Also action groups are not working.  The only workaround is to set a built in action group like lights to what you need and click that instead.  This means no AI "Taxis" for crew unfortunately.

I also have this issue and seems others in the community are bumping into it as well and what is most frustrating is it's inconsistent. I was working on a RTLS rocket that just had a probe core and found out it had not control via action groups until a full reboot of my system.

• Operating System - Windows 11
• CPU - i5 12400F and GPU - Titan X Pascal
• Description of the bug.  
  • Probe Core Should be able to control Action groups just like a kerbal commanded craft
  • Probe Core only craft have no interaction with action groups and acts like there is nothing mapped to custom groups
    • Wonder if this is related to the random cut outs of commnet as well?
• Steps to Replicate
  • Create a simple Craft with just a probe core and a custom 1-10 action group action and it just doesn't work
• Fixes / Workarounds (if known..)
  • Have to use Kerbals to control custom action groups as a backup should the probe core fail to work correctly
• A list of ALL mods.  If the list is long, please consider using a spoiler window.
