Extend antennas on EVA

[BudgetHedgehog]

We can extend solar panels and fix rover wheels on EVA, why can't we extend antennas?

Squad, pls fix

Never needed it, what i do are mostly rovers and planes, but it makes total sense that we should be able to extend antennas on EVA. After all, kerbals can tele-psychically instantly fix flat tires without tools...

I think there's a config parameter in the generic animation module that amounts to "EVA toggleable". If you want to change this yourself, you can always set that to true.

EDIT: I'm wrong. I just checked, and there is no such parameter. That sucks.

Could be "allowManualControl"? It's set to false by default, wonder what happens when it's true.. Mind you, that's in the same section as "startEventGUIName = Blink Lights" (this is the DTS dish antenna) so god knows what that's all about..

auto retract after transmissions bothers me more

Apparently, that's due to the fact that KSP detects the deployed state of antennas and won't work if it sees something's not right.
