Cant see inside SM-18 in 1.6

[Festivejelly]

So i've placed an SM-18 on my rocket but I cant actually see inside the thing when inside the VAB. The enable cutaway thing just doesnt work (it does if I launch it, but I need to see inside it in the vab so that I can put stuff in it)

Here's a screenie:



Any tips? it would be super useful to have this part for snacks

@Festivejelly Try exiting and restart. There is a bug in 1.6 that causes several issues in the VAB with a modded game. You need to make sure mods load from cache. Whenever you change or update mods the cache is rebuilt and it creates problems. So whenever you update or change mods, start the game, exit to desktop and restart to avoid the problem.

Ah I see so restarted empties the cache? Is there a way to manually delete the cache? I wonder if its something to do with module manager patching the parts.

Sadly restarting didnt fix it, nor did deleting the module manager cache. I guess I could reinstall and try again but that sounds like a look of effort :-/

Yes it related to module manager. When mods change module manager rebuilds it's cache. When mods are the same as the last run module manager loads from the cache. The rebuild process doesn't seem to play nice with 1.6., so you need run from the cache.

just curious. Could you post your modules that you have contained in the part file for this part? That way I can compare it with mine to see what the dealio is.

@Festivejelly The following is extracted from the ModuleManager.ConfigCache which is what my game is using for the part and is a more relevant comparison than the default part files which should be identical between your system and mine unless you've done changes directly to it. I also just checked to make sure I'm not having a problem with the part and I'm not. It behaves like it should.

Magic thanks. I'll do some comparing now.

Looks the same. Saw this https://github.com/sarbian/ModuleManager/issues/135 so maybe I need to just wait till its fixed.

You should check your KSP.LOG to make sure MM is loading from cache. If you have a patch error this could prevent that from happening.

For example I have a line in my log that lets me know it's loading like it should:

[LOG 10:50:42.580] [ModuleManager] ModuleManager: 4873 patches loaded from cache

I had this issue too, but I haven't downloaded 1.6.1 yet to see if the bugfix fixed it.
