Recovery mission not completing

[mavric1298]

I brought back a kerbal and their craft, recovered them both, and now the kerbal is showing as part of the space program, but for some reason the contract won't complete - still says to recover the vessel (I didn't EVA the kerbal, I returned everything as one).  Is there anything to be done other than the dreaded red X? 

 

Edit; found in my persistent file that it appears the game thinks the ship I recovered is still in orbit - however it's not showing as such on the track station - any ideas of what do to do/edit?

No clue what happened here (bug, maybe?) ... but given that you did what you were supposed to, I'd say you're well within your rights to just use the Alt+F12 debug cheat menu to force successful completion of the contract.

Since you obviously completed the contract, I would just force it to complete. Hit mod-F12 ('mod' being whichever key is the modification key for your system, Alt on Windows) to open the debug menu, go to the contracts tab, and hit the "Com" button on the correct contract to complete it.

Hmmm. OK two points: What is your current KSP version? Was this contract begun in ver 1.2.2? Do you have a savegame from before you grabbed the vessel to recover it? This is clearly a bug, and I'd like to report it if I can duplicate it from a savegame.

Point 2: You did the work, so you deserve the credit. So go into the Debug menu, under contracts, and mark this one complete. That'll get you full credit.
