Ladders

[jebster]

Here is my lander with a kerbal trying to climb aboard:

My kerbal can't get over that ladder and on to the fuel tank. I've tried pressing SHIFT and using WASD to jump him on to it, but it just doesn't work. I'm aware I can use my jetpack on some planets/moons but I'm planning to take this to Eve. How can I make this ladder work so that I can board the lander?

Try angling the ladders so it is more curved. You can also use the extendable ladders and angle them so when your Kerbal lets go, he will fall on top of the fuel tank.

I've previously used a rotated oscar-b tank and mounted handles on that.
