Hi there, Not much on bug reports as you guys do an awesome job and I rarely encounter problems (and usually they fix themselves, mere visual or understandable limitations that we can build around), but I just encountered a small issue with the "Take an EVA report on the surface" sub-contracts of certain exploration mission on Kerbin; Unlike the other subcontract that requires you to fly over a region and create a report from the cockpit mid-flight, this requires you to land and take an EVA report on the surface. The problem is that, even though I am in the region specified (my plane is in fact landed dead-on the spot where the navigation tool says it is, and on the world map it is also exactly there), landed / gracefully crashed, stepped out and created said report, it isn't ticked in the list. I have tried several contracts / regions with these mission parameters and all amount to the same result; no go on the surface EVA report, no way to complete contract. I am running a clean 32-bit Windows ZIP installation from the website in a new career. I have had the experience that sometimes lack of memory sometimes introduces problems here and there, contracts being ticked off 2 seconds after they have been completed and other such delays, but those problems always come with similar problems in other aspects of the game, this does not and is replicable (in my copy anyways). I have tried and find something similar on the forum but was unable to find a similar post, so I assume there is none and I am the only one having this problem.

I think this is the best answer, as it happens on pods even without other components added. I found this however to occur more often on the 64 bit version. Increasing time for physics seems to solve the problem partially... Especially annoying if you want the crew report from upper atmosphere while in a rapid descent. Your pilot will still 'slide' across the ladder even in zero-g, but they don't seem to be locked to the ladder properly. And yes, this still happens in the Economic Boom update.
