Here is a little more...GC = Garbage Collection. I'm still getting these occasionally, after upgrading to KSP 1.8.1 with Breaking Ground 1.3.1. What sites can I add images from (it doesn't seem to like FB as a source URL)

How can you not have full control of a vessel on the ground at the KSC?

I searched but didn't see anything similar in the forums. I've got a jet powered surface vehicle using the first landing gear set...one steerable front wheel and two fixed rear wheels, and a single jet engine. Some of the time throttle control and steering work, some of the time they don't...no steering, and only full throttle or no throttle. I've had all 4 of the first kerbonauts drive it successfully, and yet other times, using the same vehicle, I've got only full throttle or no throttle, and no steering. Has anyone else seen this? I'm not running any aircraft mods at all. I've only seen this on ksp 1.8+ with the latest Breaking Ground.

gc as in that is what is reported, and there is a ksp_x64_gc.log file, which I have included the contents of in the original post...as well as the last part of the ksp_x64.log, because when I tried to post the entire log, it wouldn't let me click submit. Note that I also get a popup, with Jeb (I think it's Jeb anyway) in a space suit, that just says "GC", has a progress bar, which does fill up, then the game exits.

Twice in two days...I started a new save to see if I could get past the issue. I get to orbit, and I get a gc crash: Unexpected mark stack overflow mod list: "name": "Achievements" "name": "BetterBurnTime" "name": "SCANsat" "name": "KAS" "name": "CommunityDeltaVMaps" "name":

It is very helpful for the people doing the troubleshooting, if you would supply a list of mods you have installed (I'm assuming you have mods because this is the forum for modded installs), and any log files.

Any idea if this is getting recompiled for 1.8 any time soon?

Any idea if this is going to get recompiled for 1.8? (or if it still works in 1.8?)

More info...I may be onto something. I found this in the log: [LOG 14:17:33.743] Flight State Captured [ERR 14:17:33.749] Input is null for field 'agent' in config node 'CONTRACT_FINISHED' at System.Environment.get_StackTrace() at ConfigNode.AddValue(System.String name, System.String value) at Contracts.Contract.Save(.ConfigNode node) at Contracts.ContractSystem.OnSave(.ConfigNode gameNode) at ScenarioModule.Save(.ConfigNode node) at ProtoScenarioModule..ctor(.ScenarioModule module) at ScenarioRunner.UpdateModules() at ScenarioRunner.GetUpdatedProtoModules() at Game.Updated(GameScenes startSceneOverride) at GamePersistence.SaveGame(System.String saveFileName, System.String saveFolder, SaveMode saveMode, GameScenes startScene) at GamePersistence.SaveGame(System.String saveFileName, System.String saveFolder, SaveMode saveMode) at FlightAutoSave+<PersistentSave>c__Iterator0.MoveNext() at UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine.InvokeMoveNext(IEnumerator enumerator, IntPtr returnValueAddress) So, possibly a busted contract?

I've got a related problem. I've had no problem finding green sandstone on Minmus. The way I find them is to first send a small unmanned 'hopper' lander and land near the edges of the greater and lesser flats, then I take short hops around the edges. It is easiest when the sun is not very high in the sky, because then the shadows are easier to pick out. Once I have them located I send a manned mission and target the landing near the unmanned probe, and viola. I've picked up more than 6 in the last week, for different contracts. Now to the problem. The first two contracts were completed successfully, but after that, while I get the 150 science points upon returning to Kerbin, the contract says I have not completed the mission. I saw that someone else on a different forum was having a similar issue, but I didn't see any solution. Note that I realize _some_ missions require a new ship to be used for the contract, so I typically build a new one, but that hasn't made any difference, and the contract hasn't specified any other parameters, other than to return green sandstone to Kerbin from Minmus. Has anyone else here seen this? Have any suggestions? I forgot to mention, when I leave Minmus, and dock with my return ship, I _am_ going EVA, and doing 'Take data', and then getting into the return capsule. I see the data transfer to the return capsule. I just did his again...went to Minmus, landed, had my scientist go eva, found 'green sandstone', climbed on it, pulled up my kerbal's action menu. did the pickup, went back to my lander, got in, back to orbit, docked, did the eva to get data moved, got back to Kerbin, and the contract still hasn't been completed.

I tried changing many things, like the toggle torque, and using the same keys I would use for translation controls...none of that works. I know it is somehow tied to the reaction wheels...

In the last couple of weeks, if I use a rovemate as the base for my rovers, I've noticed that if I use W to accelerate forward, my rovers nosedive and try to roll over forward, and when I brake, they roll backwards. I'm NOT talking about the wheels rolling in the right direction, I'm talking about the whole rover! Has anyone else seen this?

I just discovered another fault...I know this mod is not supported/released for it, I'm running ksp 1.6.1...I love the configurable containers mod, and I too have seen the symmetry isse (note when I try greater than 2x, the mirrored parts seem to be offset in the wrong direction,,,they appear "in the floor of the VAB") it also breaks the per stage delta-v information, and the burn time calcs as well (the burn "bar" next to the nav ball is always red, even with full tanks and a short burn).

Not sure if this is the place to make suggestions or not, but here goes. I would like to be able to uninstall lab equipment...sure maybe it can't be re-installed, but you could then use a single module to do all of them. Also, I've got a suggestion for a new experiment..."foamed metal"...metal is brought to a molten state in micro-G, then a gas is bubbled through the liquid as it is cooled, to form a much lower density item with most of the structural strength of the original metal. After a few experimental passes, perhaps release a foamed metal processing unit to produce light weight panels and or tubes, on orbit, for bigger construction projects.

I've got a suggestion. I'm not sure if this is the right place or not. I'd like a 'crew' tab or crew info window, available in flight. Something that lists info on each kerbonaut, possibly just on the currently active vessel. It can list some simple info, like name, class (pilot, engineer, scientist), current mission time in space/on orbit, total number of missions, and total time in space. It would help with knowing which to rotate out of a station etc.
