KSP loading screen gets stuck on a file from an old mod

[Second Hand Rocket Science]

Howdy,

Today I decided to download "ProbesPlus" from CKAN. Sadly, despite it looking like a great mod, it is very old. It apparently works with version "1.4.1" however I ignored that. Upon boot after downloading it, I was disappointed to see my loading screen got stuck loading the file "Coatl Aerospace/ProbesPlus/Parts/Telescopes/explorer_solar/ca_explorer_solar".

Currently I am unable to upload screenshots. (sorry!)

Fingers crossed!

Don't use the version on CKAN, go to the GitHub link listed on CKAN and download the master branch, then install manually following the instructions on the Readme.

If that still causes issues, delete any parts that are blocking the game from loading and retry. The mod works for me in KSP 1.12.3.

Yup... jimmymcgoochie nailed it... The hard Firespitter dependency has since been lowered to a soft dependency... Its now a case of *either* B9 PartSwitch *or* Firespitter... bUT, *only* on the master version on the Github repo.
The change is significant.
