I'm trying to get Oinkers' skybox and city lights http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/96851-105-texturereplacer-2411-17112015/&do=findComment&comment=1986705 to work. I put all the stuff in the right place in TextureReplacer, but it's not working. I can't bring up the texturereplacer menu unless I'm in the base - when I'm in flight, the button nor the alt-N hotkey work. I'm not sure if the skybox worked (is there a way to verify?) but certainly the clouds aren't working. Does alt-n no longer do anything?

Did some more checking around, Engineer works in sandbox but not in career, either my current career or a new one. In a new one I still have to go click on them in R&D and they still revert the moment I go to the VAB.

No, I definitely purchased them, I even made sure and tried several times. I tried both reloading and not reloading in between, didn't work. Windows 7.

Having a problem: when I'm in the VAB, the engineer modules are greyed out. When I go to R&D, I can click on them and then hit "research", but when I go back to the VAB they're greyed out again, and when I go back to R&D after checking the VAB, they're greyed out there as well, again. Any solution?
