Check through your list of mods and see if one has a camera built-in. (MAS / RPM / KURS / HullCam are a few examples) When KSP updated to 1.9 (release notes here) it updated how the cameras were used and that affected the mods that utilised that functionality. Specifically it no longer renders Camera 01.

KSP uses multiple cameras, each having various layers and all of that has to be rendered in a certain order to get what you see on the screen displayed correctly.  As mods are programmed based on how it worked at the time, it not surprising issues like that popup after KSP changes their methods with how the game works. 

Good to know, I think it would be RPM causing problems for me then, thanks for the help.

Currently I`m truing to clean up my big pile of various parts laying on my disk for months, and some for years.

Now I just don`t have too many time to dive deep into KSP physics and fix this wheels

I wonder how involved "farming" it out to something like KSPWheel could be? I've not tinkered with that at all, but it seems like a nice framework.

Granted, the documentation isn't all that fleshed out... ;)

Anyone thinking of whipping up some FAR profiles for these new wing parts? I've not done it before, but It'd be fun to play with these.

Don't mind if I do! :D

Thanks to @taniwha's awesome blender plugin (sorry to keep pinging you...) I've whipped up some initial FAR configs for the new wing segments and control surfaces. These are just a first stab and only "lightly tested" so let me know if anything seems out of place:

Just to clarify on @Beetlecat's comment, my blender addon has a tool for measuring wings and generating FAR wing config data.

  1. Load the part into blender as per "normal" (ie, import using my addon).
  2. Add the wing tool (Shift-A -> wing tool (probably the bottom of the menu)
  3. Place the four root/tail fore/aft empties in appropriate locations for the wing (interestingly shaped wings need some judgement)
  4. Go to the tool settings propries (screwdriver and wrench icon in the properties view)
  5. Click on the "Measure Wing" button in the "Mu Hierarchy" panel (it will be disabled if none of the wing-tool empties is selected, but it does not matter which one is selected: any will allow the tool to work)
  6. Check blender's output console for the data, copy and past the output to the wing's config file.

You should see something like (default placement of the tool): 

{
    name = FARWingAerodynamicModel
    MAC = 2
    MidChordSweep = 0
    b_2 = 1
    TaperRatio = 1
}

 

Oh, and control surfaces simply need the appropriate module and an area percentage field.

@Beetlecat  Unfortunately my 16GB RAM can`t eat more mods, so I don`t have FAR and can`t make patches for it

but if you or anyone else can make good working config it can be added to this mod.

Same for BD Armory support, if needed some compatibility changes in parts  ( hierarchy, part or node names, rotation axis ) just say me.

No errors yet, but I've not tried each and every part -- the wing-pods in your Streamline Engines pack have lifting properties defined, right? I think I'll tackle those next.

Love this mod for early game planes. If anyone is using Contrack Pack: Giving Aircraft a Purpose (GAP) with this, I made an MM patch which allows the Mk1 Open Cockpit to be usable for the first Glider contract (as well as the external seat). Makes it a little easier to build a plane (plus I use USI Sounding Rockets, somebody mentioned the SRBs in that auto-detach, so they make great JATO boosters under the wings).

One of my first MM patches, took a little reading of manuals and looking at similar to make the right edits. @NESD, or anyone, use as you wish, no copyright, no warranty, Kerbals may die, etc. 

// Allow GAP glider contract to use OpenCockpit

@CONTRACT_TYPE[Wright-Glider]:NEEDS[OpenCockpit]:AFTER[OpenCockpit]
{
	!REQUIREMENT:HAS[#name[PartUnlocked],#part[seatExternalCmd]] {}

	REQUIREMENT
	{
		name = Any
		type = Any
		
		REQUIREMENT
		{
			name = PartUnlocked
			type = PartUnlocked
			part = seatExternalCmd
		}
		REQUIREMENT
		{
			name = PartUnlocked
			type = PartUnlocked
			part = nesdmk1opencockpit
		}
	}
	
	@PARAMETER:HAS[#name[VesselParameterGroup]]
	{
		!PARAMETER:HAS[#part[seatExternalCmd]] {}

		PARAMETER
		{
			name = Any
			type = Any
			title = have a command seat or open cockpit
			disableOnStateChange = false
			hideChildren = true

			PARAMETER
			{
				name = PartValidation
				type = PartValidation

				part = seatExternalCmd			

				disableOnStateChange = false
				hideChildren = true
				hidden = true
			}

				name = PartValidation
				type = PartValidation

				part = nesdmk1opencockpit

				disableOnStateChange = false
				hideChildren = true
				hidden = true
			}
		}	
	}
}
