Black screen on launch

[AeroGav]

Hi all,

one of my career modes was nearing endgame, so i decided to spice it up by installing Interstellar, since it contains a tech that's missing from stock parts - thermal turbojets for exploring planets with anoxic atmospheres.

As these super powered engines were threatening to make things too easy,  I added  Ferram Aerospace  , which with it's tendency to make you obsess over the area rule curve sent me scurrying towards B9 Aerospace procedural wings to get the shape i wanted.

Interstellar is a pretty big mod in and of itself, but apparently needs Tweakscale and  Starlionindustries KSPI Integration patch to work properly.  

This all worked OK for about a week, spent the best part of a day creating an airframe.

Then, all of a sudden the Kraken strikes when i try to launch any of my vessels.       Everything appears normal for a second, then the world and the vessel disappear.  The screen is black apart from the UI, which is updating at about 0.3 FPS.    From that point, if i try to return to the Space Centre, all I can see is an empty milky way skybox - Kerbin itself is gone, quit to main menu and reload is the same, the only way to bring the planet back is to quit to desktop and reload.

Same thing happened even on one of the training scenarios.    I then removed all mods, and game seemed to work again.        I put back only the mods listed above (since that is what my aircraft requires) but the bug returns.    I spent a whole day test flying and tweaking the design but it looks like i'll never be able to fly the finished article?

Old Interstellar (0.90 and below) has tendency to interfere with jet engines and intakes,

try installing newer version of Interstellar

If this does not help, well, you need to get rid off Interstellar all together, i hope this will not need to happen.

By deleting the entire KSP folder then downloading again,  I was able to get the game working with Interstellar again - for now !

I must admit to being nervous to play it , however.
