Craft loading error. parts missing

[strider3]

I know why this is happening...these are older ships that used the legacy KAS parts and some Scansat stuff. SCANsat can be fixed...I haven't installed it yet in 1.7.3. But, how do I fix the KAS issue if I can't open the craft in the VAB, so I can replace the old stuff with the new KAS stuff??

I remember upgrading KAS and the inherit legacy part issue...:

Maybe this already helps?

YEaaa...that doesn't work as advertised. I've tried following the directions given, many times, to get KAS to do the "KAS upgrade pipeline"...is no worky...doesn't "do" anything.

And with last paragraph, not luck either?

I want my legacy parts back!

If you want to get the legacy parts back, you still can do it. At your full responsibility! Before reading further, please, note the following:

1. The legacy parts are completely not maintained.
2. There were reports that some of the legacy parts are already broken in KSP v1.7. Due to #1 nobody is going to fix anything.
3. Last time the legacy parts were compiled was year 2018. Sooner or later all these parts will become completely non-functional. It's not about "if", it's about "when".

So, to bring back the legacy parts:

1. Download the latest release that had them. E.g. KAS v1.1.
2. Find folder GameData/KAS/LEGACY in the release archive and extract it.
3. Ensure that the extracted files are located in your game at exactly same location: GameData/KAS/LEGACY.
4. Find the KAS compatibility patch and disable it. It's located at GameData/KAS/Patches/COMP-LegacyParts.cfg. Either drop this file or rename it to non-cfg extension.
5. Keep in mind that every KAS update will rollback these changes.

Yep, just finished that and all my ships will open so I can now remove the legacy parts myself.

I didn't do the "4. Find the KAS compatibility patch and disable it. It's located at GameData/KAS/Patches/COMP-LegacyParts.cfg. Either drop this file or rename it to non-cfg extension." Not sure why I need to do that as everything appears to be working? But, I'll go do that now...why tempt fate?

Thanks!!
