No. For example, with Near Future Spacecraft, when you first extract the zip you probably get a folder called "TU_NearFutureSpacecraft-1.4". Inside that folder is another one called "TU_NearFutureSpacecraft-1.4". Inside that folder is one called "TU_NearFutureSpacecraft". This is the actual mod folder that needs to be place in GameData. If you put either one of the first two folders inside GameData, you get that red effect.
