Control Ships without going into tracking center??

[lyndonguitar]

Can I switch ships without going into tracking center? for example I am right beside them, is there a command to just control them right away? or tracking center is really needed? I landed on the mun and its a hassle getting all the kerbonauts out one by one

If another ship or Kerbal is within 2.3 kilometers, you can switch back and forth between them with the square bracket keys, ] and [. You should be able to zoom out in map view and double-click on another flight to switch as well, but currently that is buggy and doesn't work.

Thanks!, this is exactly what I want to do, never knew that [] command, I only know of the double click and it doesn't work, hopefully in future patches you don't have to control everything one by one anymore

It was a few weeks before I found that one too... kicked myself big time for that!

if your ship is in a radius of 2.3 km(like vanamonde said), you can do it with the "[" and the "]" keys. In the map view double click another vessle. It may not work, so I just spam click until it works.

I've never gotten that to work, no matter what I try on the map screen. However the Haystack mod has a 'fly' button when selecting targets from its list that works, and is the only way so far I've been able to 'fly' debris to see what it is.

It works for me, but only from time to time. Often I only get the "Set as target" popup or change to a different object on a similar orbit.
