Changelog: v1.14 B4895 2025-10-23
Changes:
[p]Passenger Seat Persistence Improvement[/p][p]Passengers logging back into a dedicated server will now be reliably placed back into the passenger seat they were in when they logged out, even if the vessel has moved to a new playfield.[/p][p]This feature works under specific conditions: the seat must not be destroyed and it must not be occupied by another player.[/p][p]To ensure you can always reclaim your spot, we strongly recommend you reserve your seat.[/p][p]How to "Reserve" Your Passenger Seat[/p][p]Reserving your seat with a Private Lock Code is the best way to guarantee your seat is available when you log back in.[/p][olist][*][p]Aim at your passenger seat & press P to open the Control Panel.[/p][/*][*][p]Navigate to the Devices tab & select the Lock Code option.[/p][/*][*][p]Enter a code. Be sure to save this code elsewhere![/p][/*][*][p]Check the Private box to hide the code from other players in the GUI.[/p][/*][/olist][p]To use your reserved seat, simply attempt to occupy it and then enter your code when prompted.[/p][p]Important Advice for Passengers[/p]
- [p]If your seat is destroyed or occupied by another player, you will be placed back into the location where you originally logged out. Reserve your seat to prevent this.[/p][/*]
- [p]Coordinate with the Pilot: Upon logging back in, do not exit your seat immediately. Confirm with the pilot that the vessel is stationary. Running or walking on a moving vessel is not supported and may lead to clipping through the hull.[/p][/*]
