How to Upgrade from KSP 0.19 to 0.20, and still have all ships and flights.

[Amtrak71]

My question is, how do I upgrade from 0.19 to 0.20?

Are all my flights in 0.19 going to be in the 0.20 version, or do I have to re-launch everything?

And if my flights won't be there, is there someway I can make them be there, along with my saved spacecraft?

Go to your saves and copy it over.

If we were using mods beforehand, will that affect it?

If it is a part mod,plugins are fine and saves carry over.

the mod KAS has issues, but read the KAS tread, and the solution is listed there.

Copied my save file over and all is good. Every flight and ship I made is still there. Had no mods or plugins to begin with, so I avoided any problems in that department. Thumbs UP for SQUAD, a flawless update.

Important tip for upgraders:

Do not copy your .20 folder into your existing .19 folder! Instead, make a new folder for .20 and copy your saves and your ships from .19 into it.

(I just spent the better part of an hour figuring this out for myself. ; )

I didn't have to copy my saves folder over, it was there, and .2 saw it. However any ship I try and load, even "stock" ships, don't load, and I don't see all the parts in the menu's. For instance, no mainsail engine is available under propulsion, and there are no aero or science parts at all. I did have mods running in .19, but .2 doesn't recognize even stock parts. Any help is appreciated. I have also posted this in the "how to" thread, so we seem to have competing threads. My apologies for the double post.

edit: another Post indicated problems with Damned Robotics and the .2 update. I deleted all the parts and the .dll file associated with that mod, and all the parts came back and where accesssible in the VAB. I added back the MuMechLib.dll, which is used by both Damned Robotics and MechJeb, and while the ships I had that had Damned Robotics became inaccessible, all other ships where accessible. NOTE, while mission ships that have a Mechjeb2 part are accessible, returning to the spaceport becomes inaccessible. For me, that is acceptable, as those ships are only on mapping missions, and I suspect the culprit is the MapSat mod and not MechJeb, for the time being, I have to refrain from selecting those ships.

Hope this helps others, bottom line, delete all damned robotics parts until the mod author updates for .2, restore your save games files, insure MuMechLib.dll is still in your Plugins folder, don't access ships that have ISA_MapSat.dll parts, and your saves should work. Note that any ship with a damned robotics parts will be deleted when you access the tracking station.
