0.24 Issue when targeting Kerbin

[LordCorwin]

FYI, I have a mission coming back from Mun and I wanted to target Kerbing to correct the angle. It turns out that I can Focus View on Kerbin but I cannot target it (and I'm still in Mun's orbit, I'm not in Kerbin's sphere of influence).

Also if you move the mouse over the planet it seems as if it is not recognized (it doesn't provide information), and if I click on the planet the menu to target Kerbin does not appear, I just can focus view by double clicking on it.

In the same situation I'm able to target other celestial bodies without any problem.

I tried to increase the zoom out the view until all inner solar system fits in the screen and then I targeted Eve (no problem). At the same scale Kerbin, Mun and Minmus appear as a single dot. Then if I move the mouse over Kerbin, Mun and Minmus, information for all three appears in the screen and it allows to target Kerbin again. But when confirming action ("Set as Target") it appears the message "No Target"!!!.

I think this didn't happen to me when using 0.23; I made other missions to Mun, Minmus & Ike and as far as I remember I didn't have any problem targetting Kerbin.

I'm using v32 bits.

Regards

Lord

You can't target (grand)parent bodies.

Kerbol is a (grand)parent to all other bodies in the system.

Each planet is a parent to each of its respective moons.

The only way to target Kerbin (or any other planet) is to leave its (and any of its moons') SOI. All moons are inside the parent planet's SOI, so that's why you can't target Kerbin - you are still Kerbin's SOI, just being more affected by Mun's SOI.

Ups, sorry, I thought Kerbin's SOI finished when I was orbiting Mun!

Thanks EdFred.
