Bug #18105
Seated Kerbals Not Ocluded In Cargo/Materials Bays/Fairings.
100%
Description
This is a bug that appeared in a previous version of KSP. As the title suggests Kerbals are no longer being occluded in cargo/materials bays/fairings and consequently producing huge amounts of drag and running the risk of exposure to re-entry heat.
Testing was done in 100% stock environment, no Mods. Windows 64.
I hope this bug can be fixed soon as it isn't ideal for my SSTO designs!

I have found this same bug in my 1.4.2 OSX steam game.
Each kerbal is in a command char sitting on a cubic octagonal strut inside their respective cargo bays.
When the craft starts moving, the drag of the struts stays at zero, but the drag of the kerbal still exists.

Updated by Here's a craft that always shielded kerbals from drag in 1.2.x and 1.3.x, which now kills them:

Updated by Bug is still present in 1.4.3. Does that mean we have to file a fresh bug report?

A duplicate report using version 1.4.3 exists
https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/18782
So even if Squad staff filter by reported-in version, this will be found.
I started a thread to collect what information users might have, at

What steps are required to demonstrate that the bug is fixed? If I
1) Install a fresh KSP 1.4.4
2) Download the craft file in the report
3) Separate the fairing-deploy from the engine-fire staging
4) Enable display of part-drag in the debug menu
4) EVA each Kerbal, walk them to one of the EAS-1 seats
5) Close the cargo bays
6) Stage engines
then I see the same results as in the original report, except that the Kerbal in the Mk3 cargo bay shows no drag (seen in screenshot12.jpg attached)
I can feel the drag when flying Fourfa's example craft.
On the user forum, I speculated that, after loading a Kerbal into the chair and closing the bay, an F5 quicksave / F9 quickload would give the desired behavior.

This one was fixed, all-the-way, in version 1.4.5 and remains so in 1.5.1
