1.10.1 - Missing crafts in Career/Science Mode only

[FuzzyG]

I have been playing KSP for almost two years and have noticed that the issues just keep getting weirder and weirder.

For example, I loaded up about 45 or so select mods. I started in Career Mode but after launching from either the VAB or SPH, there would be no missions and the game itself would "physically change to Sandbox mode." NOTE: I can duplicate this over and over and I can also record this occurance for any non-believers in weirdness.

On top of that, the buttons quit working making it impossible to do anything other than "Alt-Shift-Del" the game in Task Manager.

As this is the forum for "unmodded installs," I ask you bear with me for a minute of your time or so...

I decided that a fresh install in a new directory/drive would be worth my trouble except it only added more problems.

The current problem is that there are NO stock planes/crafts or otherwise listed in either the Career or Science Mode. In other words... gone, vanished, empty, and so forth.

Before I get inundated with obvious comments that speak for themselves, consider the following:

The game is in a new directory, Steam cloud is "OFF," and validation does not fix the issue one way or another. In that, after I back all the way out of the game, I revalidate the game files, which states approx 45 to 57 files are missing each and everytime I go through the same following scenario:

Validate. Start game from directory or Steam (doesn't really matter). Start new game in either Career or Science Mode. Go into either SPH or VAB and select open, which then allows selecting either SPH/VAB internally. Still get same weird results ------------> NO CRAFTS

NOTE: Crafts are only there in Sandbox mode!!!!!!!

Any thoughts to the matter????

There is a setting for career mode to include / not include stock crafts, did you check that?

Well, why not now?

Settings for this particular occurrence take place when and only when one is selecting the difficulty mode. As stated succinctly by you "VoidSquid," anything greater than Easy Mode will cause stock planes to be,,, um,,,, shall we say,,,, null and void. 

Okay, I must confess that I was playing in "Immaidoit Mode," and forgot all about the little things that make it so much easier.

I do not mind being called out on the red carpet (so to speak), mainly because the real test is to figure out why the game switches playing mode. So without further ado, I now close the missing stock planes issue courtesy of VoidSquid for stating the obvious.

In that, I forgot all about that particular setting and thought for sure I was losing control of my KSP reality.

It's not everyday that one has to eat up a nice serving of humble pie for me, the FuzzyG ...

Clearly, my ADHD got the better of me this time.

Once again, kind regards to VoidSquid

All good, glad I could help, and it is exactly these little things that can and do happen to everyone now and then, you're in good company  

And next time, maybe it's you who can help out another fellow Kerbonaut.
