Kerbal Space Program

Description:

Changing mission flag in VAB/SPH changes the flag displayed on the flagpoles at the space center (the one we select when we create a new save). For exemple, if I choose the default flag on the flag pole then launch a craft with, say, the black squad flag, my flagpole would now have the black squad flag. I don't even have to launch the craft, just selecting a different flag in the VAB/SPH then exiting changes the one on the pole.

From what I remember this was not the case before, and mission flags were independant from the Space Center one. Is it a bug or is it an intended mechanic (or do I have a bad memory) ? If it is a mechanic, is there a small tweak I can make in any cfg file to lock the one displayed at the space center from changing between missions ?

Steps to reproduce :

1 - select a flag for your flagpole or leave the one you chose when starting a new game
2 - go to VAB/SPH and build something
3 - change the mission flag
4 - leave the VAB/SPH or launch the craft
5 - observe that the flag on the flagpole now has changed to your mission flag

Expected:

Changing the flag in the VAB/SPH only applies to the craft and not to the flagpole, ie the Space Center flag stays the same.

Hi McEckett,
This is the intended behaviour now. Previous versions were not updating the flags at KSC to match the current mission and this was also causing other problems.
