RogueMason Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 First, I have no idea if anyone knows about this already, so forgive me if this is a known feature. I've never seen or heard of it before.I decided I'd check the Astronaut complex, seeing as I just sent something to Duna and followed it the whole way there. I clicked slightly elsewhere of where I normally would, and guess what (check the bottom left of the first screenie...):Umm...HOLY MOTHER OF--I literally (and I mean literally) squawked when I saw this. Now that was some epic mis-clicking. Like I say, I don't know if this is known already, but... oh my. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G'th Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Oh wow. So this means its possible to change our main flag? Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisarmingBaton5 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 This is a known feature IIRC prior to the addition of the astronaut complex/R&D facility, the flagpole was more prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Tash Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yeah it's there since the Flags update been around, you can change flags whenever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketPilot573 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yep, been there since .20... (aka since flags were added) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas988 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I discovered this a while ago, but I keep forgetting it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasuha Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I know about that feature but I only found it by accident, same as OP. It sure is no secret but since the flagpole is so tiny it's usually not obvious it is possible to click on it. It would probably help if the whole grass field around the flag was clickable for the same function.By the way the flag next to launchpad is also "selectable" but clicking on it does nothing.

problemecium Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I found something similar a few weeks ago: the KSC Monolith is visible in the Space Center screen. It's the tiny speck way in the distance - barely visible, but definitely real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroBones Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 So uhmm... this is news to me! Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerdude8 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 It's been there for a very long time, Just has been getting progressively smaller with every update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeroignite Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Today I Learned! Super-handy for the invariable times when I want a new save but haven't loaded a flag into the KSP directory yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerbMav Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Thank you, for reminding me of this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaelath Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I was like you too. I was like "What? What is this? I never saw it before! Omg! Hidden feature!" o: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroBones Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 So far I've been updating my flag in the save-file directly, but of course that's what you HAVE to do, if you want to back-fill all your planted flags with the same design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeath Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 OMG! YES!Now I can display my wonderful flag at KSC! (I have a mod that adds flag parts, as well, but they tend to have major clipping issues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the tiny speck way in the distance - barely visible, but definitely real.This stands to reason, since the Space Center screen shows the "real" view (though it doesn't load ships), rather than being a pre-rendered image. You can move the camera about in the space centre screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astropapi1 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Where do you have to click? In the old space center view, you could just click on the flag pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKay Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I think you can also change them in the VAB under "change mission flags"JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazhat Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 We need real loading hints to point this sort of stuff out. Things like double clicking on windows lets you look around and zoom in in IVA. It impossible to descover some things in KSP except by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
