HELP: Recovery of a saved-over craft (SPH)

[SpenSpaceCorp]

I recently spent many hours creating a replica of a Douglas DC-3 aircraft in the space plane hanger, and started a DC-4. I used the DC-3 as a template and saved over the DC-3 craft, later realising I had just erased my DC-3 craft for the beginning of a DC-4. Is there any way to recover a craft after it has been overwritten by a save?

Nope, it's gone.

If it was the last thing you launched from the runway, it might be the "Auto Saved Ship" that the game maintains, in which case you can load that.

If you have a quicksave or persistence file when you were flying the DC-3, it'll be there. I don't know what you might have to fix to get it back in the SPH though.

Beyond that, you're looking at general data recovery. But chances aren't great since you overwrote, rather than just deleted, the file. Nonetheless you could give something like Testdisk and Photorec a go.
