[0.90]Problem rescuing a space stranded kerbal

[Dave-In-Texas]

I have no problems getting into orbit and getting close to him. heck i'm at 61m right now, 0.2m/s relative velocity

I had no problems when i last played in 0.24.

I cannot switch to the kerbal to fly him the last bit and i cannot grab him via eva, I had the pilot fly out and try to get him that way,lol...

how the heck do you rescue them these days? when i try to switch to target i get 'cannot focus an object we do not own.' ?????

huh?

any insights?

Level 3 mision control, tracking station, launch pad

level 2 vab, crew building, research

Did you press ] or [ ? This switches between nearby vessels & kerbals.

Thank you. since I could not switch via other methods it didn't occur to me to try keyboard short cuts.. weird, but it worked,thanks

This needs to be in the in-game tutorials, given how often this question comes up. Unless you know and already use the keyboard shortcuts, it's just not intuitive.

Never mind the in-game tutorials, this needs to be in the contract description, a note saying "Get 2.5km from <name> and take control using <key1> or <key2>."
