Just downloaded the shuttle. . today i think, or maybe last night. The landing gear and air break wont actuate and the cargo bay wont open in the VAB or in flight. .Seems like my KSP is broke at times. . guess ill go back to the Buran. Would be nice to play with the Shuttle though. Anyone able to assist PM me with some info, cheers.

Greetings to anyone that reads this. I am new to KSP and have only been with it for about 1 month or less. I love the game but i wanted some more realistic parameters of game play so i am very attracted to the Real Solar System and Realism Overhaul mods, i have used them for about 3 weeks at most and spent 2 weeks and continuing to find out why i have a issue with spontaneous rocket explosions. So the first week i had the RSS and RO mods everything seemed good, but of course i did not have many mods at all when i was trialing it. Than i assumed everything was sweet and that i will download a few more mods on the supported mods list, but than .... hit the fan. EVERY time i launch a rocket they explode for reasons not fully known to myself, i would appreciate any help and tips. So ill give you the story. I used the mod for about 1 week and was very happy with it, than i thought i would add to it with a few more mods in the supported mods list. So i got a few than every rocket i used (Mod or stock) started exploding, i removed ALL mods and even uninstalled and re installed the game close to 10 times now and am finally reduced to applying 1 mod at a time and testing each mod with 3 rocket flights. (I have also used the supported spaceX and ESA rockets and same thing happens, BOOM) At this stage i am not 100% sure what the problem is but i think it is related to the Realism Overhaul mod, when it is applied it changes the dimensions of the components in such a way that they do not fit together right, and i think this makes a weak point that results in an explosions when the slightest turn is made at velocities over ~300m/s. I predominantly am using the OLDD proton rocket and it is the only RO supported rocket i want to use and i know its not a direct issue with the that rocket cause i have tested other stock rockets too as well as test the OLDD proton without the RO mod. So i am about 80% sure the RO mod is doing something very strange but i cannot quite work it out cause its such an odd thing that happens. If anyone knows a solution please let me know by replying here or with a PM. P.S. If my future RSS/RO gaming is to continue my beloved OLDD Proton-K rocket must stop exploding (its not the rockets fault though). Also note that the RO mod changes the size of the proton rocket so that the engines do not fit right (still works though). So again, i am very sure it is something to do with the RO re-sizing. PLEASE HELP

I LOVE your rocket, the Proton-K is one of my favorite rocket's of all time (as well as the Soyuz (Soyuz 2 to be exactly specific of model), Atlas-V-551 & Ares-1(due to its practical engineering)). However, i have encountered an issue with the construction/assembly in the VAB. The whole rocket fits together perfectly fine BUT the first stage aft base plate has no green connector spheres thus i cannot connect the engine thrust structure and engine. . . any ideas? Would greatly appreciate a reply in regards to this as i plan on using your Proton for 75%+++ of my KSP launches. Cheers.

I love your mods, by far the very best rocket modelling in KSP. I have your Saturn-V/Apollo and Proton mods and they are great (would be a bit better if you had a pre-assembled "stock" file so i could just load it and fit the payload from the sub-assemblies, rather than build the rocket and put in the sub-assemblies area where i would maybe be missing parts) Ever thought of doing a Soyuz-FG, Ares-1, Atlas-V 551, Titan-IV, Space Shuttle/Buran? . . . Maybe even an ICBM like the RT-2PM missile? (compatible with Real Solar System and Realism Overhaul) Amazing work, would love to see more.

I have had many problem's with getting this to work with other supported mod's, but I did as you say and I un-installed the game and re-installed it to start fresh (with no other mods) than do this mod first. . . BUT, now I only have 2 rocket parts in the whole game. . . that's it, I have a solid rocket escape tower and a grabbing claw thingy. . . . ... happened to the rest of the stock components? And the only mod i have had problems with is this one, no others before it. Everything seemed to work until the textures changing earth and so forth.
