Sentinel not working

[teej72]

I've put the sentinel scope on a craft orbiting the sun closer and set it to scan for asteroids but it's not working. I've fast forwarded for days and it's not coming up.

Any ideas?

Fast forward for months.

I did it for years just now. getting ready to uninstall some mods.

I'm getting the same: I have a Sentinel in the correct orbit, with Kerbin as its target, and scanning enabled, but it's not detecting any asteroids or comets.

Last I remembered, Sentinel contracts are incompatible with Kopernicus. So, if you have parallax or any planet packs...or anything that uses Kopernicus, it's probably broken.



Granted that was back in, like, 1.10. might be fixed by now, not sure.


edit: whooo wee this is a necro and a half.

I know the thread is old, but in case anyone finds it and wants to fix their problem with kopernicus disabling asteroid spawning by default, go to:
Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Kopernicus\Config\Kopernicus_Config.cfg
and change
UseKopernicusAsteroidSystem = true
to
UseKopernicusAsteroidSystem = stock

After the change i got 2 asteroids within 30 seconds of restarting my game, but keep in mind, the setting is only supposed to be used with stock-like solar systems (like OPM)
