Problem Shuttle Fleet payload detached after launch

[Wolf]

I added two APFR's (Thorton's ISSR) to the Shuttle deployable attachment points. Problem is that about 15 seconds after liftoff the 2 payloads are jettisoned from the Shuttle

Here is the scenario I am using to test this issue (payload bay doors intentionally open to check the payloads visually)

Any idea of what the reason might be (or what I'm doing wrong)?

Thanks

Confirmed the problem, however this is NOT a shuttle fleet issue. The same problem can be repeated by attaching one of the APFRs to the default Atlantis shuttle and launching as well. Additionally, I tried attaching a different APFR model in place of the ISSR's version and the problem does not appear.

Once on-orbit, there seems to be no problem, I can only assume it is an issue during the launch sequence with the APFR.dll vehicle. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Just wanted to add, I do not see "shuttlebay" vehicle in scenario. I use it for automated starts and some additional effects (steam clouds, maxQ effect, 9:00 countdown, etc.). It occupies attachment 6. It works OK.

Thanks Dave. I agree it is not a SF related issue. The same thing happens attaching the ISSR APFR to a UCDeck (APFR ejected from UCDeck after liftoff). The problem disappears if the APFR is attached directly to the ISSR ShuttleBay. I will try attaching some other ISSR stuff directly to the Shuttle attachment point and see if they behave the same
