I'm just learning how to write .scn files, and I'm trying to Velcro/Stage a Nova SSTO, Delta III second stage, IUS 1 and 2, and an almighty Probe.:hailprobe:
This is the relevant section of the file.

Code:
BEGIN_SHIPS
NovaSSTO:Velcro/NovaSSTO
  STATUS Landed Earth
  BASE Cape Canaveral:6
  HEADING 0.00
  TGT_HEADING 090.0
  FUEL 1.000
  CONFIGURATION 0
  FAIRING 2 1.0 -8.0 0.0 0.0
  CAMERA 0 0 30.0
  STAGE Delta-Stg1:Velcro/D3stg1 0 0 52.25 45679 0 1
    STAGE IUS1 Velcro/IUS_stg1 0 0 56.00 17260 0 1
      STAGE IUS2 Velcro/IUS_Stg2 0 0 57.838 6419 0 1
        PAYLOAD probe probe probe 0 0 59 600 0 1
      END_STAGE
    END_STAGE
  END_STAGE
  PAYLOAD Fair1 Velcro/Parts/NovaSSTOShroud1 Velcro/Parts/NovaSSTOShroud1 0 0 51.0 5500.0 0 0.0 1.0
  PAYLOAD Fair2 Velcro/Parts/NovaSSTOShroud2 Velcro/Parts/NovaSSTOShroud2 0 0 51.0 5500.0 0 0.0 1.0
END
END_SHIPS
I run it, and the system crashes the program.

orbiter.log says...
Code:

What is this trying to tell me, and how do I fix this?
 
I have this errors very often, and they do not crash Orbiter. Looks like there's an error in your scenario file.

This may help:

THE STAGE TAG
=============

STAGEs are broadly similar to PAYLOAD *except* they constitute
additional stages to your vessel. That is to say, if you mount a
payload above a stage (and before and ENDSTAGE -- see below) it
will separate WITH that "stage" vehicle and you may continue to
loft the payload(s) before jettionning it later. An example would
be the Soyuz launch vessel may configure a Fregat as a STAGE with
the MarsExpress as a PAYLOAD above it.

(definitions as for PAYLOAD)
 
OK, I have the Name, and I have the Mesh, and the Class
Running...
:blink::censored::beathead:
CTD due to a problem (no specifics on orbiter.log).
EDIT: tested three times and crashes at the same point each time.
Conditions at crash:
Mach 10.64 at 80.23 Km
STP is 1.01Pa
36.8m/s^2 ACC
VACC is -7.50 m/s^2
Simulation duration is 158s at crash.

EDIT: Problem Solved. Works fine now.
