Craft self destructs in mid-air

[Raiden]

So, flying along, only just recently stopped an issue from happening by replacing landing gear, and then the craft just decides to fall apart in mid-air.

I'm using B9 Aerospace for 0.90 and FAR for the same installation, plus RasterPropMonitor.

I have no experience with FAR but it does by design destroy poorly made aerodynamics IIRC. So parts sticking out, like landing gears or mechanical parts will be ripped off by the air (similar to real life) if opened or put in the wrong place.

But this is a stock craft. Made for use with FAR, actually. And the gear was up. Even if it was down, I doubt it would demolish the whole plane.

Ah, sorry, my mistake I read the post as "craft self destructs when lowering gear".

Reet. No problem man.

What does the flight log say? If it says that connection between *insert part name* and *insert part name* failed due to atmospheric pressure, it means that you some how over-g'ed your aircraft.

Stock B9 craft haven't been updated for new FAR version, I think.

I think that angle of attack might be too much for the craft, and it couldn't handle it.

It just said "structural failure between *part name* and *part name*" or something of the like

Well, actually, I uninstalled FAR, and I can see WHY the aircraft was self destructing. After the same altitude of the self destruct, the aircraft violently pitches up and down out of control. With FAR, that would be plenty to completely destroy the aircraft.

Ah.......................... well this is embarrasing. You see, my game was taking forever to load on start up, so I removed some "unnecessary" components in gamedata. Reintroducing those components, the mod now works fine. I'm a tool
