Don't know if it has been reported already (didn't see a specific report):
The Kane-11-FBL Docking Floodlight & Kane-11-LIB EVA Floodlight stooped working for me with the latest update. They neither emit light nor do the animations work for me currently.
(Game and mod up to date) -
I just installed it on v1.9.1 using CKAN. I simply ignored CKAN's compability warning an proceeded. Seems to be working fine.

They use:
IA has no docking ports. IB is equipped with docking ports and can rendevouz and dock with my Kerbol Target Vehicle-Eeloo (Atlas-Agena Target Vehicle).
Uses:
Upgraded (and ahistorical) version of my Kermini-Eve IB with additional RCS thrusters and a Remote Guidance Unit for more convenient docking.

Updated the Kercury-Eeloo (Mercury-Atlas)

Kercury-Little Kerb (Mercury-Little Joe)
Uses:
- FASA
- Making History DLC
It uses liquid fuel instead of solid fuel as main propellant, which is historically inaccurate. Still a good start for the Kercury Program, I think.

Updated the rockets (MEM now stages in correct sequence, all of the rockets now shut down stage-1-engines, when abort AG is triggered) and uploaded MEM and CSM as additional separate files.

Mercury, Gemini & Apollo Approximations (Modded)
In this thread I will share my attempts to rebuild Mercury, Gemini and Apollo "likish" designs. Some are close to be replicas, some just share the common early US Space Craft style.
Vessel links lead to KerbalX (respectively my KerbalX Hangar) and contain all needed and useful data, such as used mods and AG specifications. Each vessel may have different mod-dependencies.
Kerpollo-Jool I (Apollo-Saturn IB)

Kerpollo-Jool II (Apollo-Saturn V (payload lifter))
Spoiler
Kerpollo-Jool II with MEM (Apollo-Saturn V with LEM)Spoiler
If ye wanna, feel free to give 'em a try and share your opionion on those vessels.

Hey kerbonatus, I've got a little problem. I don't kow if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. I hope this is the right thread to post my problem.
I build an Apollo 11 / Saturn V "like" rocket thingy and everything works fine so far - with one exception: After separating the CSM from the S IVB, turning and docking with the LEM, I can't pull the LEM off the LEM attachment plate. The LEM is just stuck on the attachment plate. The decoupling function seems not do work/do anything.
I solved the problem by myself. Still now sure if I missed something with the inital problem - I just solved it by adding a "Big G" Decoupler with almost no force set which i stage after CSM/LEM coupling. This separates the LEM from the SIVB correctly.
For those who are interested in the vessel anyways, I updated the craft file on KerbalX. The vessel is now fully operational. Including abort action group.

I think my little video is way less professional than most of the awesome stuff posted here, but I wanna share it with you anyways.

Hey Laird, Huge Walls of Text, even in spoilers, can cause issues for some users on some platforms, so we ask you host your large files on outside servers and link them here
Oh, I'm sorry. Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind.

SpoilerI would be very grateful if somebody could maybe take a look at the ship and help me with troubleshooting.

Sorry, if I missed that in the documentation, but what do I have to do in order to get the action group settings read automatically?
