I drop the cargo off at the platform. This being prologue mission 1. The very first thing you do.

The mission does not register the task as complete. I am stuck waiting for nothing. C/C Xi 1 delivered to Harlequin Station, still yellow, incomplete. Cargo is on the platform.

Any suggestions how to get past this part?

And yes. I hit Ctrl+D to dock, then Ctrl+R to release cargo. Nothing happens.

I must have messed with this 50 times but I think I resolved it.

TFTC recently updated with a 'gimbal fix' that fixed the sticky poles, which made it very difficult to track craft.

Upon disabling this, the ship aligned and was completed.

@blue_max something worth looking into if it's reproducible maybe?

When
@4brkfast
When you dock to a station you mark it as a target and within distance 1km you just press shift+D then wait for your ship to dock automatically. You do nothing else during this time. If the automatic docking is interrupted, the goods will not be delivered to the platform.
Perhaps this will help with the mission.

Yes, I think this happens because of the gimbal lock fix. I've patched this already and the quick workaround is to disable the gimbal lock fix by pressing Ctrl+Alt+G
