Would appreciate that, before I go drop a bug report on the part or something. Won't bother if it's just happening for me.

@Caerfinon Possible bug with navy cert 1, if you do the mission and get as far as recovering the stranded kerbal, then crash your helicopter while trying to lift off the water to head back to base the mission fails. At this point I noticed that both the observer, Darlene Kerman, and the stranded kerbal, Molo, where in my pilot roster and hadn't vanished back into the void from whence they spawned.  I retook the mission, and the contract seems to fail to realize that I've reached the target zone and doesn't acknowledge that I have the rescue kerbal on my craft. 

EDIT: after I successfully, actually completed the contract, I force completed it with the cheat system. Darlene Kerman went back into the void, but both Molo and Katwiss [rescue target number 2] have decided to remain as part of my space program.

It appears all the NAVY missions a re missing the anti-tourist spam protection code from Issue #15.  Issue  #31    raised.

Hey, @CaerfinonJust because I know you use airplane plus, have you ever tried attaching anything to the size 1 100KE Auxillary power engine? I thought it'd make a nice tail section for my helicopter, as it's generally tail shaped and produces electricity, which my helicopter needed, but I have found that attaching parts to it, saving the craft, and leaving the editor, ie launching, or coming back in and reloading the craft, ends up placing those parts to the far right front of the craft, magically attached by invisible... something? I'm just wondering if you can reproduce, or if it's just on my end, or what>?

I did test it. Sorry for the delay in getting back but some RL issues intervened.

I was able to attach multiple parts to the 100KE Auxiliary power engine  (wings, elevons, etc.) and they always maintained their placed position in the editor, during launches, after saves and reloads. I'm running KSP 1.11 and I've included my mod list for reference. Maybe some other mod you have is interfering with it.

Looks like you've got pretty much all the mods I've got and then some, the only mods I'm using that I don't see on your list are Angel's mods, Pathfinder, Heisenberg airships, and flying saucer, and I did notice some problems with Pathfinder last night, some parts from that mod won't stay purchased, specifically the buckboards. every time I'd pay for them to be unlocked and change scenes, I'd have to pay for them again next time I wanted to use them in the editor. Not sure why they'd be affecting just that one part in airplane plus though, if that's where the problem is coming from.

Current Status:

• Issue  #31   Navy Tourism Spam bug
  • New code fixes
  • There are two types of Navy mission passengers, the Navy Observer and the Navy Pilot to be rescued.
  • Status of the Navy Observer
    • The observer is spawned using the SpawnPassengers Behaviour and is removed with the RemoveKerbal Behaviour
    • If the Navy Observer is killed or the aircraft is damaged the mission fails. If you recover the Navy Observer is removed from play. There may be a short period they appear in the astronaut complex but after a scene change or two they are removed.
  • Status of the Navy Pilot
    • The Navy pilot is spawned at a specific location using the SpawnKerbal Behaviour and is removed with the RemoveKerbal Behaviour
    • the RemoveKerbal function does not appear to be removing the Navy Pilot on contract failure conditions. The only way the Navy Pilot gets removed is on the successful completion of the mission and recovery.
    • The workarounds for this behaviour are as follows;
      • If the mission fails before the Navy Pilot is picked up,  you can terminate them from the tracking station by highlighting EVA kerbals.
      • If you choose the recover option from either the KSC screen (for those pilots near Kola Island) then the Navy Pilot goes into your roster 
      • If the Navy Pilot dies during the mission they go to the Missing Tab in your roster and will become active again or be marked KIA depending on your game settings
      • If the Navy Pilot does show up in your active roster you have the option of dismissing them or taking advantage of an additional pilot. The morality of it is up  to you
  • Similarities to Issue #15 Tourist Spam
    • Tourists are also spawned using the SpawnPassengers Behaviour but all my attempts to remove them on contract failure using  RemoveKerbal have failed.
    • Tourists are only removed from play on recovery after a successful mission result... or death.
    • If they don't die, they fill up the astronaut complex and cannot be dismissed. You can edit them out of the game file by hand, but when you have 80 that's a lot.
    • So the only way I have of causing the death of countless tourists to remove them from play is to destroy the aircraft they are on using the DestroyVessel Behaviour with the CONTRACT_FAILED option. This will also kill the crew.
  • All of these issues can be avoided by reverting to Launch or SPH on mission failures, but not everyone plays that way so I thought I should tidy up a bit. 

The new Navy code is in play-testing and should be in GitHub later today and will be available in the next scheduled release.

That is pretty weird.  Have you tried recreating the issue in a completely fresh sandbox game? You could also temporarily remove suspected mods and see if the behaviour changes at all.

No I didn't, and to be honest, I just made the decision to update my install and mods to 1.11 today, and I'm dropping a few mods so since it's just a me issue and I'm redoing my install and mods, I'm not going to worry about it past this. If you'd have had the issue too I'd have reported it and submitted logs and such in the AP+ thread.

I see this mission be one for something like Flight Manager for Reusable Stages. set your agent up in a control chair in a cargo bay on a decoupler, open bay and stage when we're over the area. staging event creates a FMRS load point, eject the agent from the seat, parachute him down, then use FMRS to reload the ejection point, and control the plane back to landing. makes it a lot easier than trying to juggle objects on the way down.

I would recommend making the landing area bigger than 500 M though. I've never been able to hit a target that small. Every time I've tried a targeted paradrop, I land at least a KM away. Will it count if you walk the agent into the target zone? if not, i'm going to need to really practice my precision paradrops.

If the agent misses the drop zone... They can hike to it on foot and still complete the mission

Never tested that, but the mission requires that the descending agent  be of the vessel type EVA so as long as that parameter is maintained you can drop with just about anything.

@Caerfinon I'm not sure why, or what's going on, but I'm on year 2 of my career and I've been having the let's start an airline mission hanging out in my mission control, and suddenly it's gone. I look at the contract listings and it's showing that somehow I no longer meet the requirement of having aileron / elevons despite the fact that I have many researched and have been flying planes with them for quite a while. I'm not sure what's happened that KS-GAP is no longer correctly aware of my part availability

Have you changes to a tech tree mod that changes the stock part in any way?

The requirement is that you have parts with the "ModuleControlSurface"  ;

	REQUIREMENT
	{
		name = PartModuleUnlocked
		type = PartModuleUnlocked
		title = Aileron or Elevon
		partModule = ModuleControlSurface

	}

In the Stock parts the Elevon1 has this module

	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleControlSurface
		useInternalDragModel = True
		dragCoeff = 0.25
		deflectionLiftCoeff = 0.25
		ctrlSurfaceRange = 20
		ctrlSurfaceArea = 1.0
		actuatorSpeed = 30
		transformName = Elevon1
	}

It appears from your log that Atmosphere Autopilot is replacing that module on your parts.

[AtmosphereAutopilot]: part 'hlfSrf' config node contains ModuleControlSurface, replacing it

So I've added support for this mod and others that change the ModuleControlSurface. You can replace your copy of the file with this one;

01 - LetsStartAnAirline.zip

The update is on GitHub and will be included in the next release.

I'm using Kiwi tech tree, I haven't made any install changes since I started this career, everything is the same and the missions were showing up yesterday. I've been using atmospheric autopilot for months, if not for a year or better, and it's never interfered with the spawning of these missions before, so I have no idea why it suddenly decided to do so today when I started the game.

yeah seems too, but now I've got a fully upgraded science lab in my save, and every new save I start, and I have no idea why. Not saying the file you sent is the problem, just saying my game is acting more and more weird.

[Caerfinon]

@vardicd that happens to a lot of my career games. I need to make a stable  play instance, and then not muck about in it. but I'm always trying out new mods and breaking things.

THIS^ the reason so many of my career games end. Though I have at least learned to never manipulate my persistent file while the save is actively loaded. That's just asking the kraken to visit.

      • Once recovered take the agent to the nearest airport, put them on a plane and take them home.
  • Civil Unrest - Transport a SpecialOps agent to the area of the Civil unrest and Para Drop them on the objective.
    • It's much like the deploy agent mission, except this time ground based kerbals are are shooting back
    • There will be three random KERPADS (Kerbal Portable Air Defense Systems) deployed around the objective. They will engage at 5kms range. You can evade them by
      • flying outside their range either higher or farther away horizontally
      • flying below their effective engagement altitude.
    • You have 10 seconds to get clear. A missile strike will destroy your aircraft.
    • You will be able to detect their location when you are within 8kms of them. So scouting the drop site is a good idea.
• A fix for Hinterland tours that prevented it from launching unless you had KSC Extended mod installed
• A final fix to the Terminal Altitude problem. (because Top Secret Are 15 is so far above the real terrain.)
  • all regular airline flights, UK VIK transports, and UK cargo flights will use the new terminal altitude settings.
    • The range to marker has been returned to 50 meters
  • The Landing Rights flights have had the terminal requirements removed because the way flight progress is calculated in this set of flights is the bug that caused the altitude issue in the first place. 
    • They will just need to stop on the runways within 690 meters of the marker like the version 1 flights all did.
• Support for mods that change the ModuleControlSurface has been added to the Let's Start an Airline mission to allow it to begin correctly.

These changes will be on GitHub later today and will be included in the next release.

How are you doing hostile things shooting at you?

Like every thing else it's an abstraction.

If you get too close to a specific spot at a specific altitude you are given 10 seconds to change your flight to get out of that position otherwise you complete a parameter that triggers a destroy vessel behaviour.

The locations are randomly set and become visible at 8kms so with a bit of flying you should be able to avoid them and get the agent to the drop zone.

Oh, okay. For a minute there I was envisioning something like BD armory that actually adds weapons and stuff into KSP. Trying to figure out how you managed that with this mod, contract configurator, and Kerbinside.

There are Contract Configurator hooks to make BD armory based contracts. There is a TargetDestroyed Parameter  that lets you specify a list of vessels that need to be eliminated to complete objectives. Presumably that would be done with the weaponry BD Armory provides. There is an example mission on a GitHub fork of the Original GAP mod that has the player fighting with rebels who have seized the Island Airport! It spawns aircraft and AA guns and the objective is to land and plant a flag presumably after you fight it out with the enemy assets.  BDArmory Missions  KSP-IslandLandingBD.cfg

I've read through it and it's interesting. Might be something "optional" put together much later. I've never used BD Armory so I've have to spend some time figuring all that out.
