Thanks for the reply It seems the spacesuit's lack of a cockpit plays a role.Basically all I do is remove any previous cockpit mods(including earlier versions of this or PSC01's cockpit mod), jump in a fighter and fly/jump to a sector where I don't have any other assets. It doesn't have to be literally empty. If you have insurance salvage you can just eject and save in your space suit, but I have done it several times without ejecting as well.
Once you save with no trace of the mod present, then you exit the game and apply the mod and load that save. Works fine and you don't need to start from scratch.
I am running completely vanilla X3:AP. I had tried applying the mod while in my original buster docked at a station. That caused a CTD when loading the save. Any idea what the issue was at that point?
Maybe it was being docked?
I'll try the spacesuit bit tonight and report back.
One additional question: Any known incompatibility with the items from the officially available bonus pack? thx.
