Can't decouple in the tutorial

[Chik Sneadlov]

I'm in the tutorial orbiting the moon with three astronauts. I wanted to leave two astronauts orbiting and take the last guy down to the moon with the lander but even though I space walked him into the lander I can't decouple. I've gone to the joint and right clicked but the buttons for decouple do not depress. I tried moving an astronaut next to the joint but that doesn't work either. The tutorial invited me to land so I'm surprised nothing works. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

First, try clicking on the other docking collar. I was able to decouple, but only one of the docking collars gave me that option.

If you could provide a little more information, it may help as well. Specifically,

1. Which tutorial? There are Training missions and Scenario missions. I'm assuming you are going through the Training mission To The Mun part 1?

2. Which game version are you using? Again, I'm assuming the latest version of 0.25.

3. What operating system do you use? (Windows 7, Linux, OSX..)

4. Are you using any Mods, if so a list of mods you are using is always useful.

Thanks for reporting this! Again, try clicking on the other docking port. If that doesn't solve it, please report back with some more info.

I tried it again and this time I could uncouple but I didn't know how to take control of the lander. Spent some time trying to dock but that will take some work. The last time I played you had to go to tracking to take over other ships. Seems there should be a way to do it within the scenario.

You can switch ships with the '[' and ']' keys (by default, on QWERTY keyboards. So unless the tutorial disables some functionality that should work.

Chik, glad you had success. It was a little odd that I was able to decouple when clicking on one side, but not the other. Keep in mind the game is still in development. You can find solutions to most of the current quirks on this forum.

Right clicking has no function at all for me in any mode. I understand that you can manually release stages if you want?, but right clicking does nothing.Halp
