[SOLVED] Mechjeb Mod Doesn't Work

[Shimojin]

I downloaded the mechjeb mod for KSP, i took the unzipped folder and put it in GameData folder as i'm supposed to, but when i open up KSP the mod doesn't show up. I also have kerbal alarm mod and that works, but mechjeb doesn't even show up. Not the buttons or anything, if someone knows why that would be great!

Did you unzip the file? Is it the most current build of MechJeb.

Sounds like an install issue.....MJ2 confirmed (by myself and MANY others) to be 100% operational in 0.90.

Yes I did unzip the file, and i downloaded the latest build of mechjeb so i'm not sure why it doesn't work. i've only been playing this game for a few days so i'm not sure if it's something really simple i'm missing out on

Are you playing career mode? Have you confirmed the part/functionality is missing from sandbox as well.....

Should also note that MJ2 is not packaged like most mods.....most try to stucture the same way the Squad folders are (as in you get a GameData folder in the zip). But MJ2 just comes in folder...no GD folder first.....

In your game directory you should have MJ2 folder in game data..in that should be 4 items:
Icons (folder)
Parts (folder)
Plugins (folder)
License (.md file)

I've tried in both sandbox and career mode, and it doesn't work with both of them. I have the MJ2 folder in the GameData directory and all 4 of those items are inside the MJ2 folder.

Same thing here... not showing up. I've read you have to place an AR202 module but this information seams to be old.

Just to make sure that you're aware - Mechjeb requires you install certain parts on your ship in order to access its functions. Unless you add the parts, it'll function just like a craft in vanilla and there will be no additional buttons.

oh... well... I'm kind of used to "mod language" with Minecraft and space engeneer and I'm so new to this game... I'm not playing in sandbox mode so... I'll get some science to go get those parts.
thx

To be exact, you need a gadget that appears in the "Command And Control" tab once you've unlocked it ("MechJeb 2 (AR202 case)". This has to be installed on every ship that wishes to take advantage of MechJeb's extra functionality.

The inital unlock for MechJeb 2 is "Flight Control" -- however, it won't do much that is useful until you've researched "Advanced Flight Control" as well. You may also need to upgrade your tracking to level 2 ("Patched Conics Visible") to take advantage of the functionality offered once "Advanced Flight Control" is resarched.

The easiest way to verify that MechJeb is properly installed and recognized is to look at the R&D tree -- even if you can't research it, you can view what unlocks come from "Flight Control", and if MechJeb is there then you are golden. You can also start a sandbox game -- it should be available immediately.

After installing MJ2, I get a message saying it's incompatible then I get stuck on the main loading screen.
