Falcon is designed to fly unmanned, but can be launch crewed if you don’t particularly mind not having a launch escape system.

Before flight, you must press control from here on the nose-mounted docking port

Falcon is fairly straightforwards to fly but there are some things you need to know before you fly it which are noted below

CRAFT INFORMATION

For getting kerbals out of the cockpit, you need to swing the chairs around using the servos so their head faces away from the window before leaving the seat

Cargo must fit on the elevator, as shown here and can be up to about 2 tons

The cargo elevator needs to be moved out of the cargo bay (action group 10) before being lowered to the surface (action group 9)
The KAL units involved are accessible on the elevator itself

For atmospheric landings (ie Duna), fly it like an aircraft into the atmosphere until slowing to about 300 m/s, then activate vernor RCS (action group 5), open the throttle, and set SAS to point retrograde

Seats in the MADV:
4 in Hitchhiker module: located in pressurized crew section
1 in Lander can MK1: located in cargo bay
1 in Lander can MK2: located in cargo bay

Additionally, there are more seats that can be filled in emergencies:
2 in command chairs in the cockpit
1 in the cockpit airlock
2 in the chairs on the cargo elevator
