I saw other people post this issue but no reproductions or resolutions. If you inflate the heat shield in the VAB, ModuleAnimateGeneric/Status becomes permanently set to "Fixed" and you end up with it inflated whenever you reload the craft or try to launch it. (Very bad when you are using procedural fairings, ) Deflating the heat shield in the VAB returns it to its original state but the status always remains as "Fixed". It also saves the animation state if you click save in the middle of the animation... Thanks for a great mod!
