Usage
When the Kelus Mobility Enhancer is attached to a vessel, it starts out in compact in the closed position and extends from its protective case when activated via clicking on it. The extended ladder allows Kerbals to grab onto it at any point and move vertically. Kerbals cannot collide with the part either when it is stowed or extended. The only interaction via a Kerbal has with it is by grabbing the rungs and moving vertically. Kerbals can climb from one ladder to the next.
In the VAB and SPH, the ladder can be right-clicked and made to start extended or retracted.
Like other ladders, the Kelus Mobility Enhancer is a physicsless part.
Trivia
Real-world comparison
- The Kelus Mobility Enhancer appears to be inspired by the boarding ladder on the Fairchild-Republic A-10 ground attack aircraft. This collapsible ladder is utilized by the pilot to enter and exit the cockpit.
Name change
- The part description refers to the ladder's name change in version 1.1.3; its original name was "Telus Mobility Enhancer".
- The name "Telus Mobility" is indeed already in use by a Canadian wireless network operator.
Changes
- Name changed from Telus Mobility Enhancer to Kelus Mobility Enhancer
- Initial release
