IVA the hitchhiker can

[Firedtm]

So with .21 out has any one found that you can now go in to IVA mode in the can

That feature was coming with 0.20, but the devs forgot to include it.

It's just a shame that the IVA is so poorly done. The modelling is sub-par compared to most earlier IVAs, and the textures are all washed out.

Besides, the labels are too silly for me, I'd rather have had something more serious. And what's with the control sticks in the chairs? A new animation for the Kerbals that doesn't involve them grabbing control sticks, or simple armrests, would have looked a lot better.

Yes, I got a couple of screenshots from a mission on the 25th where I brought along some passengers:

Considering that the can broke free of the command module during re-entry (next time I'll remember to put chutes on it too!), their screams were justified.

That's why the game is still in development, friend.

okay maybe the textures could be a bit better(though it looks fine to me) but seriously, complaining about silliness in Kerbal space program?

I'm very happy with the belated IVA view for the can, no complaints about its appearance or function.

This screenshot alone has everything I like about KSP: the foreboding surface of the Mun up close, a Kerbal rather concerned about something out of view and unknown, and an "aerodynamic" nose cap that's very, very inappropriate in its environment.

I never knew that those circles on the side of the Hitchhiker were windows...

Has anyone tried to make the IVA show up in 0.20? I made a thread in the old How To section, but it got ignored and I need to know.

I doubt it's as simple as copy/pasting the entire /Squad/Spaces folder from 0.21.1 and slap it in 0.20 and make it work. Surly it's been hard-coded to show up.

Also, two other questions that were ignored and I need to know:

- When going IVA, is it treated as a Command Pod? As in being able to control the craft?

- Does the IVA change if you use a smaller hitchhiker module for standard-sized rockets?
