Mission Flag Problems
Has anyone been having a problem getting their mission flag to stay set? Every time I launch KSP my mission flag has turned white. And twice now when placing a flag it places a random flag. All the flags at KSC are white also. I've tried setting it and quitting the game to make sure it "sticks" but it is always white when reloaded.
Any advice would be great, thanks!
Edit: u/ChrisK91's suggestion fixed the problem. I needed to use the outdoor flagpole to set the mission flag. The flag button inside the VAB and SPH appear to be broken for me for some reason but this works well enough! :D

You can change the default flag at the mission control flagpole, IIRC. Have you tried changing it?
That appears to have done it! For some reason the flag button in the Spaceplane Hanger and the VAB does not set the flag. I confirmed this by setting it both places first and then in the outdoor scene the flag remained white. I then followed your suggestion and used the outdoor flag and it set the flag and it persisted after a restart. I further tested that the VAB and SPH still do not set the flag even after this so I am guessing they are bugged for some reason. I will explore that more later.
Thank you so much for the help! :D
The flags in the VAB and SPH are mission specific and only affect the vehicle that you are building. The flagpole is the default flag that is used for all new vehicles.
Ah thank you once again Chris that is good to know. The wiki does not seem to mention it and entry for Flag Pole doesn't exist. Is this documented somewhere I should have seen?
