I was working on a rocket using this fairing when I had to exit the game for a min, leaving it on the launch pad. When I came back the base was larger then normal and now the shell is in all of it's sections, exposing the inside and making editing the shell harder. https://imgur.com/0zmiPaR https://imgur.com/ShSJIlq

Hello Friendly KSP Online Community, I am using an AE-FF2 Airstream Protective Shell (2.5m), and it will not release the attached probe. I have decided to edit the save file to try to free the probe, but before I take that drastic step, I would like to appeal to the community for help. Did anyone else out there have this issue? I tried to attach a screenshot, but I can't. The probe is just hanging there in space, invisibly attached to the Shell Plate. The separator I used is blown off, and wiggled its way out of the gap between the Probe and the Shell Plate. There is nothing joining the Probe to the Plate, but the probe moves in unison with the rest of the ship, as though it were still attached by some structural component. The funny thing is, I launched several probes using the exact same method without issue. Then, suddenly, this one became stuck. In any case, thanks for the help!

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with the Payload aerodynamic cowling *Fairing) separation on my "Rover Payloader". Basically I'm trying to place a Science Gathering Rover at a location on opposite side of KSP spaceport, and using a rocket launcher to place a cargo pod into sub-orbital trajctory, so it re=enters, and through staging eventually lands my rover on parachutes. The problem is when I STAGE the Fairing, the shell itself detaches but not the support structure holding the rover, nor the base - so I am left with the base and this structure attached to my rover which is now quite overloaded both for the parachutes!, When it lands (hard) there is a small explosion which usually cripples the Rover. The few tmes when I got lucky I managed to get the lander down in one piece, but still with the payload flange and support structure attached, and the Rover was basically struck (payload fairing far to heavy!). What am I doing wrong? Do I need to use a stage separate inside the cargo bay (between the back of rover and the base) to force a clean separation? I tried using one of those small blue separators but this didn't get rid of the base plate or supports! Also, if it matters I'm running V1.2 in Career mode. Thanks in advance for any advice, Jonathan Stevenson
