Broken Spaceplanes!

[Stikkychaos]

Hello everyone.

My current issue is this: After downloading Modular Kolonization System and Karbonite for .25 from Umbra repository, my game broke. While building a vessel - no matter what type of it - my lift rating indicator will not move. At first i though it's just a glitch, but it persisted through several gamesaves: planes have a visible issue with steering, both stabilizers and winglets do not work. Said "issue" basically means i can shove SPH up my arse, since spaceplanes are unsteerable.

Here's a list of mods i have installed:

Kerbal Attachment System

Neophytes Elementary Aerodynamics Replacement

B9 Aerospace

KW Rocketry

SCANsat

TACs Life Support

Mechjeb

Navhud

Docking Port Alignment

Every mod i have has been updated to fit 0.25 version of the game. Also, i have to run it on x64 executable, since normal file wont start the game.

Has anyone encountered such problem? Anyone has a solution already?

Ferram broke NEAR for x64, you need to download a fix. There's a thread for those on the addon release forums.

Ferram broke NEAR for x64, you need to download a fix. There's a thread for those on the addon release forums.

It is more accurate to say Ferram intentionally disabled FAR/NEAR for x64 due to all the "bug reports" which were just more x64 instability. For the benefit of Stikkkychaos: Ferram is hardly the only modder to have done this; the instability of the Windows x64 distribution is common, and there are enough entitled idiots with x64 issues to cause every modder headaches.

Senshi has released an x64-enabled version of NEAR. If you download this, do be aware that Ferram will not support you, and Senshi will probably not support you either, because Windows x64 is a buggy piece of crap. The alternatives are to use Active Texture Management to reduce RAM consumption, which should allow you to play 32-bit with a bigger stack of mods, or take the dive and install Linux, whose 64-bit distribution has so far been rock-solid. That, or just not play with so many mods. This issue will be resolved when the Windows x64 release's stability problems are resolved, and modders no longer get stupid bug reports from people who are simply running into x64 issues.

Well, neither Google nor forum search seems to locate the fix... Could I ask for the link?

EDIT: disregard this post. I wrote it before Starman's tip.

Well, thanks for help.

I do have ATM, and it seems to not help much in the matter. Seems like i will have to leave some of the mods behind... sad day is upon me. Still, thank you for your cooperation.

You know that Linux x64 is perfectly usable, right?
