Solar Panels not extending or retracting (1.3)

[kingoflolz321]

Hey all I have been having some trouble with solar panels in ksp 1.3. Usually when you right click them it comes up with a tag saying "Extend Panels" but when I right click it now it comes up with nothing. This problem has been also happening with mods that use solar panels except SSTU (so far). However the solar panels that don't extend/retract still work.

 

If anyone has any answers or ways to fix this problem please comment below.

I don't have a solution, but I'm experiencing a similar problem after updating to KSP 1.3.1.  All of my solar panels have retracted and the non-retractable ones won't extend.  The right-click menu doesn't even permit the option to extend.  I will lose each of my satellites that have non-retractable solar panels when they run out of Ec after I focus on them.

Is there any way to edit the .sfs file to alter the state of solar panels?

I deleted Kopernicus and that fixed my issue.

Thanks for your suggestion, which I have followed.  Sadly, in my case, this didn't solve the problem.  I've been reduced to editing the .sfs file and haven't completely resolved the issue.  I may have to iterate though all the vessels with non-retractable panels.

I believe I had trouble with this as well, till I updated Default Action groups mod(to 1.2.3)

then it just started working again.

Hope this helps

This may, in fact, be the solution.  The latest update to Action Groups Extended (AGX, installed today), and a couple of other mods, has apparently resolved the problem.  I don't actually know which mod update might have been responsible but it's worked.  Thank you for pointing this out.

On investigation, only a few solar panels remained retracted on initial vessel load but the right-click option to extend them was now present.
