Ack, just to be sure I tested this again with a perfectly-clean install. I am finding that the bug is no longer occurring. Elsewhere online I can find references to this being an issue with Kopernicus, so I am now thinking that this bug only manifests itself after installing/using mods that rely on Kopernicus. Moderators: You may delete this thread or move it to the modded support area; whichever you feel is appropriate. Sorry! --Noel

KSP Version: 0.90.0 Beta Build ID: 00705 2014-12-15_13-42-05 Branch: master OS: Windows 7 64-bit [but running KSP 32-bit] What Happens: When recovering a vessel (after landing/splashing down on Kerbin), the distance from KSC is incorrectly listed and thus the parts are given a very low recovery value. The distance is always listed as "-942.5Km from KSC" Mods / Add-Ons: Has occurred running KSP stock (no Add-Ons), also has occurred with all of these Mods running (simultaneously; bug not tested against each Mod individually) - BoulderCo City Lights & Clouds Crowd Sourced Science Distant Object Enhancement Kerbal Engineer Kittopia Space Kopernicus TextureReplacer TriggerTech Kerbal Alarm Clock TriggerTech TransferWindowPlanner Outer Planets Mod PlanetShine (all mods running the latest versions released on/before 1/20/15) Steps to Replicate: Launch a spacecraft Achieve orbit around Kerbin, and/or leave Kerbin's SOI Re-enter Kerbin's atmosphere and splash-down or land on the surface. Recover the vessel using the UI button at the top of the screen. Here is an Image of the recovery screen showing the parts calculation from a flight that splashed down just 15Km from KSC: Please let me know if any further information could be helpful in troubleshooting this issue! Thank you, --Noel

Listen, donfede... You're not making this easy for the rest of us! I toyed with KSP back at 0.18 demo. Purchased at 0.23 release and been noodling with career-mode these last few weeks. After a dozen landings on the Mun and Minmus, I just made my first successful Duna landing and return (although Jeb had to leap from the ship on ascent and use his MMU [KMU?] to achieve orbit around Duna and be rescued by the return capsule; which didn't have RCS itself). I was pretty chuffed and thought "Now that I'm getting good at this, I'll finally log into the KSP forums and have a go at a challenge" You've brought me back to Earth (Kerbin) with a thud! Someday... someday I'll be capable of putting together such a mission; in the meantime I am humbled and in awe! --Noel [real-life pilot, KSP amateur]
