Other vessels than my current craft i'm controlling are invisible when i go near them

[kspguy77]

Hi! I have a issue or a bug which causes any other vessel than my own craft that i'm piloting, to be invisible. I can only see the square marking the object til' about 150 meters or so and then the rectangle disappears too. When i go to the exact spot where the other plane (i'm talking mostly about planes here, haven't tried this with objects a lot or with orbiting vessels) is supposed to be,  my own craft just taxis as usual. I've also tried this with a plane and a runway marker thingy or whatever (you know those T-shaped poles with lights on them what they put near the beginning of runways in real life), no difference. What could be the cause for this? I took a couple of screenshots of the situation on Steam, how do i put them here? In case i cannot upload them in the future, here's the deal in the pics: i taxied an Eurofighter Typhoon (stock) to the front of a yellow door left of the SPH  main doors, and then i took an F-18 and did the same, still can't see the Eurofighter from the F-18 or the F-18 from the Eurofighter. Both planes seem to be almost in the exact same spot (really they are indeed in the same place) when watched from the view where you can select which facility to go to (what's this view called, btw?).

You don't have to repost the same topic just because no one answered the first time...sometimes it takes a while

If you want to upload some screenshots, here is a good tutorial for different hosts:

Also, some additional informations are welcome, like:

Which KSP version?

Which OS?

Does this happen since you are playing or did the problem appear after some time?

Have you changes anything on your KSP install just before this problem occures?

What happens when you try to switch between those vessels by using the hotkeys (I don't know the default keys for other keyboard layouts then german, you have to look  into your settings)?

Any mods installed (I know, this is the unmodded sub-forum but just to be sure)?

Have you already tried anything to fix this problem, like reinstalling KSP/verify gamefiles through steam?

I didn't even notice i had reposted. Well, my KSP version is 1.4.3, OS is Win 10, the problem appears immediately when i try to go near my other ships. I don't think i have changed anything in my KSP install. I gotta try changing between the ships some day. About mods then.. i don't have any mods in my Gamedata file, but i had some helicopter part mod which i later deleted and it still shows those parts in game (like when i'm try'na build somethin'. So i guess a mod could move this to the modded installs support area? Have yet to try reinstalling KSP. Verify gamefiles through steam? How?

Ok, I have a wild guess here: Did this mod use ModuleManager and did you delete ModuleManager as well? ModuleManager creates a cache for patches which may still contains the patch files for your deleted mod. This would explain why these parts still show up in your game and it may also causes some other issues. Please be sure to that your GameData folder just contains a 'Squad' folder and, if you have the DLC installed, a 'SquadExpansion' folder. Nothing else! (Caution: If any modded parts are still used in any craft, they will break!!!)
If ModuleManager is uninstalled as well and these parts still show up in your game, you can try to delete the PartDatabase. This is a file in your KSP install folder, called 'PartDatabase.cfg'. Just quit your game and delete this file. The 'PartDatabase.cfg' will be recreated automatically as soon as you restart your game.

Right click on KSP in your steam library -> Properties -> local files -> verify integrity of game files.
I would prefer a clean reinstall but verifying the gamedata is faster.

If you want to do a clean reinstall, make sure to backup your savegame and that everything else got deleted.
