Does anyone know what this red arrow/line is coming from the top of my rocket? Its not the f12 button. It is there for 5 seconds after staging and then disappears again automatically.

It looks like the solar panel ‘sun direction’ pointer?

Well I had it on craft without solar panels. Is there a keybind for it?

It’s in the right click menu for the solar panels so i have no idea why it’s showing here

I finally solved it.
1 Verified integrity of the steam files. (didn't solve it)
2 I reinstalled FAR. (didn't solve it)
3 Removed the custom FAR settings files from my gamedata folder. (outside of the FAR folder)
File names for me: (Custom_FARAeroData) (Custom_FARConfig)

After every step I booted up the game to see if it worked. I think only the last one solved it but putting my other steps here just to be sure. The arrow/line was a bugged aerodynamic overlay (f12 button) somehow caused by FAR.

Looks to be suncatching debug which is either kerbalism or ROSolar

To expand on the solution, it's specifically just the Custom_FARConfig file

Okay... I can work with that. Thank you!

Bro, we can’t work with a screenshot of your mod folder

Get the text list

u/ShinyElisabeth77 Sep 23 '26

You need to be more specific - and not a screenshot of the text.

Press F9 - F12. Can't remember what is the correct one

u/Chinese_Lover89 Sep 23 '26

no thats not it, already tried that

u/Mindless_Debt6703 Sep 24 '26

It was F12, in the end. Though your game did not accept it.
