Customizing scenarios, loading multiple vessels & switching between them (UCGO/UMMU)

Hey I have a few questions. I just downloaded the UCGO and the UMMO add-ons. However, I can't figure out how to load multiple vessels. Also, I don't know how to switch between piloting different vessels. How can you customize the scenarios, etc? I'm trying to open multiple vessels so i can dock a vessel into a mothership.


Thanks for your help!
 
The easiest way to create a scenario is with the scenario editor (make sure it's enabled in the "modules" tab of the launchpad). Just start any scenario, then press F4 and find the scenario editor (I think it's under "special tools" or something like that). Use the editor to add the vessels you want, delete any you don't need, and set the date.

To change from one vessel to another, hit the F3 key, and a box will open listing the vessels you can switch to, just pick one.
 
you can also create .scn file in Notepad on Windows (other OS's will have different text editors). For example, the Autoland Autopilot Scenario from UCGO 2.0:

Code: 
BEGIN_DESC
You start in orbit around the Moon, Your goal is to land at Brighton base using the Autoland autopilot 


ACTION: Click the "Autoland " button in the VC and watch the arrow de-orbit and land smoothly. You can accelerate the time until close to the base, watch the front screen's display for Autoland data. Don't forget your gear :)


SITUATION: You are in the correct orbit to use the Autoland autopilot. Your orbit passes right over the base, altitude is between 15km and 30km, you are about 1000km away from the base, and your NAV1 is tuned to a cargo XPDR balise's frequency.


COOL: Switch to camera preset (F4>Camera>Preset) when you are near landing area. Use "CTL+ALT+UP" to have a close view of the front windows. (CTL+ALT+DOWN to return to seat)

You can change this around quite a bit to change cargo loadouts, crew, vehicles, and placements. It took me a while, but I finally got it. It's a skill well worth learning.
For example, I modified the above scenario to have a different cargo and crew loadout, as well as a different XPDR frequency (changes are in red):

Code: 
BEGIN_DESC
You start in orbit around the Moon, Your goal is to land at Brighton base using the Autoland autopilot 


ACTION: Click the "Autoland " button in the VC and watch the arrow de-orbit and land smoothly. You can accelerate the time until close to the base, watch the front screen's display for Autoland data. Don't forget your gear :)


SITUATION: You are in the correct orbit to use the Autoland autopilot. Your orbit passes right over the base, altitude is between 15km and 30km, you are about 1000km away from the base, and your NAV1 is tuned to a cargo XPDR balise's frequency.


COOL: Switch to camera preset (F4>Camera>Preset) when you are near landing area. Use "CTL+ALT+UP" to have a close view of the front windows. (CTL+ALT+DOWN to return to seat)
