Odd. I can only guess my mods are conflicting or there is something in my savegames preventing it. Both were started on older versions. (1.4.0?)
Maybe I'll try with a new game to see if it works then.
I'm pretty new to KSP but love this mod. (Thanks for this!)
I miss the stock rescue missions, though. (they were a good way to get random Kerbals and practice rendez-vous.) Are there any contract packs that still contain those missions?
