Problem with a contract

[Curunur]

So,

i have a contract to put an surface outpost on Minmus, got it there with no problem, landed it and then the problems started. The first one is that the contract does not complete cause apparently standing still doesnt count as having stability for 10 seconds. The second one is: If i hover over the mission tab the game crashes, but only if im driving around (or just stand around) with this specific station. Has anyone an idea how to fix this?

I don't have a solution for you, but you should post the crash logs, your system specs, etc as detailed here:

Also list any mods you have installed.

There may be something useful in this thread too:

AS to the 1st problem (contract not completing), you have to turn off SAS. Apparently if SAS is on, torque and/or RCS are continually applying minute forces to keep the ship's orientation fixed, and the contract system must see this as the controls not being neutralized.

As to the crash on mouseover, no clue.

Actually SAS/control input doesn't matter at all. I've had several contracts complete with SAS on or controls being used (even while I'm still firing the bloody engine with some of the satellite ones lol)

Same here. My guess is that remaining stable for ten seconds really just means staying within the bounds of the contract and not exploding.

Odd. When I used Fine Print I could not get contracts to complete without turning off SAS. Maybe that changed when they integrated it with the stock game.

Yup, it was changed to solve that exact problem (I remember reading one of Arsonide's posts somewhere.... it may have been in the now-defunct fine print thread)

Strrange. Prior to 0.90, playing mod Fine Print, I had to turn off SAS. Now, in 0.90, I STILL have to turn off SAS. I see no difference whatsoever there.
