Unreasonable deviation?

[Person012345]

Maybe it's just because I'm a scrub but I would say this is within reasonable deviation of the assigned orbit:

As you can see my probe meets the requirements (I have the contract displayed in the top right):

What's going on here, why won't this thing complete? Edited November 17, 2015 by Person012345

Look at the moving dots around the orbit. Is your craft traveling in the same direction as they are? If not, there's your problem.

Yeah that should be plenty close. Check the inclination required for the mission, and your inclination through Kerbal Engineer Redux or MechJeb, you might be traveling in the wrong direction.

If you don't have or want to download those, flip infinite fuel on and reverse your direction.

This is something I definitely overlooked and now you mention it, that is probably the issue. I'll go check.

Yup, looks like I'm going the wrong way, thanks.

I have enough fuel to reverse direction, it's only the mun. ;)

Alright, it completed, thanks again! Edited November 17, 2015 by Person012345

Another way of figuring it out without chasing the dots is to look at AN/DN, if it says something close to 180 degree - it's going backwards

You're not alone. Nearly all the other people who started threads saying orbits won't match also ignored the direction.
