Potentially dumb question, but how does one actually go about completing the "Jump from an airplane!" contract? If my understanding is right, if I send Bill EVA from the plane with his 'chute, and follow him down to the ground won't Jeb just fall asleep and crash the plane? How do I keep the plane up in the air while I'm focused on a different Kerbal?

Hi All, I love the idea of this mod but I'm having trouble even getting my first sat launched. I've made a little qbe-sat with a Z1 battery, solar panels and a C16 antenna. I can launch it up into a ~100km parking orbit and activate the antenna so it picks up signal from KSC when it comes round above. I make a maneuver node to change the apoapsis up to a higher orbit, but when I try to give the flight computer the instruction to execute the node I get the error "Signal Delay is too high to execute this maneuver at the proper time." Am I doing something wrong? I thought that's how it should be able to work, I set the node and get the FC to execute when it's out of contact from KSC? Thanks!
