FAR showing zero drag - Only wit Mobile processing lab

[Sivonen]

Hello all

 

I'm experiencing a bug with KSP.

Only time when I get this bug is when I have mobile processing lab (scilab afterwards) on my craft.

FAR reports zero drag and lift and the control surfaces do nothing.

After I reach about 250m/s speed, the scilab vanishes but everything attached to it are floating where they were.

I have narrowed the problem down to the scilab only. A simple rocket with scilab has the bug, a complex rocket without the scilab is fine.

 

Here's a log from a run containing:

Start

Load savegame

Load a craft

Launch a craft

Verify that the bug is there

The bug also occurs when trying a fresh install with only RO and RP-0, without any recommended mods.

 

Make a rocket:

Guidance unit

Mobile processing lab

SRB

4x Tail fin

A thing to hold it upright

 

Launch it and see FAR report zero drag and lift.

Making notes to myself

 

FAR only works

FAR + RO works

FAR + RO + DRE + RSS works

 

Aaaaaaand here's the winner: Ven's stock part revamp breaks the scilab.

From this file: \GameData\VenStockRevamp\Squad\Parts\Utility.cfg

I deleted this bit:

(I actually deleted the part, but I think the part name was that)

@PART[LargeCrewedLab] {

                    some text and stuff here

}

@PART <---- delete everything before this line, don't delete this line

 

And with that it works!

I get this too... I'm not using RO or RP-0, but I am using RSS.  I'm not using Ven's mod.  I get the same behavior with science labs suddenly vanishing in flight, usually around 6000m.  Also, if you Hyperedit them into orbit, they go flying off at ludicrous speed in a random direction.

Yeah, the latest release of Ven's is seriously bugged when used with FAR. Try rolling back to a previous version.
