"aircraft not loaded because xxx part is missing" FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW

[MrUberGr]

:confused: So I just logged in to the game. And got a bunch of messages saying that "aircraft is not loaded because xxx part does not exist" or something like that. So I lost all my ships in orbit. And Jebediah. What the heck???

Tried logging out and back in but the ships are still lost. Basically everything exept a flag I had on kerbin. Even Debris.

If you already saved the game, then it's done. If not, then find the missing parts:

- did you use some mod?

- did you upgrade?

Did you install any mods? Looks like something is missing from the GameData folder.

PHEW. Well, I'm pretty dumb, since I forgot the obvious solution. Went back to the last quicksave. Everything is there now.

But why did this happen? I do use TacFuelBalancer for my planes and Engineer, and yes I had updated about a week ago. But, I had opened and closed the game plenty of times since.

Maybe some of the parts weren't loaded correctly.

I've had this when I accidentally opened 2 instances of KSP.

Wow, thank you... what you just said led me to my problem. My computer went to sleep with KSP running, and when it woke up KSP was gone, now every time I try to load a game all of my ships say all parts are missing. Checked task manager and no KSP, but I bet it's still running somewhere. Gonna restart and try again, thanks and sorry for the necro of the old thread. Would it be better if I had made a new post and linked this one? Not sure, don't post often, heh.

Always have a backup of your persistence file, even just a quicksave. I use Kerbal Alarm Clock which keeps up to 50 backups automatically. Every time you switch ships (using KAC).

It has been very very handy...
