probes unavailable from tracking station

[tazbertair]

Hi guys, hope you can give me some advice!

I now have several probes out in the solar system, in career mode. They have comms (RA-15 dish plus tracking station is fully upgraded), but if I leave them and go back to the space centre I can never go back to them. They are not listed as available ships. If I move the map around, I can see them and see their comms network, but I can't fly them any more.

I just tested it again with a probe to Duna, after completing a circularisation maneuver I went back to the tracking station only to see that the probe was immediately not available.

Has anyone seen this before? Is quite annoying as I have several contracts to complete and I have to keep sending a new probe every time I start the game.

Thanks

Gaaah! much derpitude was had by all.

They are listed under 'relays' not 'probes' as they have RA-15 dishes. Guess what, relays were switched off in the tracking centre.

So, now I have a long list of ships to choose from!

Apologies for the distraction, as you were!

If you had comms to carry out the circularisation I'm going to guess you don't have Relays enabled at the tracking centre. Check the top of the screen, lit one are on.

Also note you can change the vessel type by clicking on the probe core, it's a useful way to declutter the tracking screen. Blimey, ninja'd by the OP....
