Ok, so I will just say straight forward that I know how to download mods on KSP. I have pumped my game full of mods, probably about 40 of them, and I know how to do it. I don't bother with CKAN, I think it is even harder than manual install (sorry to the devs of CKAN, that is just my opinion). One day, I decided to download the RSS/RO combination for 1.3.1. I got all the dependencies, all the files, read the READMEs on how to download and install each mod, and put them in the KSP/Gamedata/ folder. There is now folders with the following names inside:
Kopernicus
KSCSwitcher
ModularFlightIntegrator
RealSolarSystem
RSSDateTime
RSS- Textures
Squad
ModuleManager.4.0.3.dll
Knowing me, it will be somehting stupid. But I have checked the version, and it is actually always the outdated mods like KSCSwitcher and RSSDateTime that work, but not the RSS itself (eg the launch site in France is in the middle of an ocean). I tried downloading RO, but that had the exact same problem. Any ideas on why it isn't working would be greatly appreciated!
