Help with Installation?

[Stealth_Eagle]

Hello, I'm relatively new to Kerbal Space Program as this is my first post. I'm relatively familiar with stock parts and I have decided that I want to install four mods: B9 Aerospace, Skillful, Intersteller and Kethane mods. I have successfully installed the mods so that they appear in the load menu and they load for in the VAB and the hanger. However, when ever I try to launch a design, the game crashes. Any advice for me? I'm right now on a steam version of the game.

ActiveTextureManagement. Go for the Aggressive version if you're getting crashes.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not sure if it is due to PC specs (those will be below) but I will try this and thanks for the help.

PC Specs:

GTX 460 1GB

8GB ram

4x core operating at 3.5 GHz (AMD 970 I think, not sure off the top of my head)

Edit: installed the suggested mod and getting a black screen at launch.

That should be enough. KSP can only use 4 GB though so the the amount of RAM you have isn't a problem. The black screen is normal I believe, just wait it out. Walk away from the computer and when you come back it should be loaded.

THIS IS NORMAL! The first time you run KSP after installing said mod it will result in a long load time, but after that it will be much faster.

Ah, thank you so much for that response. The black screen just freaked me out because there was a past time when I installed a game mod (not ksp) where it caused a black screen which led to a virus and I had to get my hard drive completely cleaned. That was a bad time.

Yeah, this won't do this. The KSP modding community is very responsible and they have to provide source code.

If the moderators ever find a virus in a mod here they'd be quick to take it down.
