Ship information not displaying

[Zafer Altan]

So, I was playing some KSP today and then I noticed that the bar where the comsat and the signal of the vessel was gone. I have made some screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/eUdr569

Also, I have searched online for a screenshot of someone that has this bar (included in the link)

Hope someone has a solution for this.

Well, what happens if you click on the little arrow/triangle? Is CommNet enabled in your difficulty settings?
Do you have a crew member/probecore and an antenna on your vessel?

The arrow is from the BetterTimeWarp mod, but I play on Science Sandbox so there is no CommNet in my settings. And I had remoteTech installed, and then deleted it because I didn't like it and then it was just gone.

Pretty sure RemoteTech disables the stock CommNet, which is available in every gamemode.
Please check again your difficulty settings, by pausing the game -> settings -> difficutly options.

I don't have that option

That's odd...

Maybe, we have to take a close look at your savegame.
Your savegame is located in 'your_KSP_install_directory/saves/however_your_savegame_is_called/persistent.sfs'.

CREATE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING FURTHER!

Open the savegame in a texteditor and scroll a bit down. You will find some nodes called 'FLIGHT', 'EDITOR', 'TRACKINGSTATION', 'SPACECENTER' and 'DIFFICULTY'. Obviously, you are looking for the difficulty node, it looks like this:

DIFFICULTY
{
	AutoHireCrews = False
	MissingCrewsRespawn = True
	RespawnTimer = 7200
	BypassEntryPurchaseAfterResearch = True
	AllowStockVessels = False
	IndestructibleFacilities = False
	ResourceAbundance = 1
	ReentryHeatScale = 1
	EnableCommNet = True
	AllowOtherLaunchSites = True
}

You can already spot the setting you are looking for: EnableCommNet = True
In your case, I assume that the value is set to 'false' or the whole entry doesn't exist at all. Add or edit this parameter, save the file and restart the game. This will hopefully fix your problem.

That worked, thank you so much!
