The best way to trouble shoot for a CTD when using a mod(s), and suspecting it's in a particular ship/plane/object occurrence, is to have the mod(s) loaded into the game, then open the Museum. The Museum will show each object that's correctly displayed in-game. If the ship/plane/object is not correctly set up, the Museum will CTD when you attempt to view the particular object.

The trick is to know what's the NEXT object to be viewed, after the one you're currently looking at. If you're sent back to desk top (needing to restart the game), it's that particular object that you were trying to view that's the culprit. Once you know which object is at fault, it's good to look for others. There could easily be more than one object that will create a CTD when they appear.......narrowing down all the particular faulty objects is required before thinking you've solved the problem.

Actually, figuring out which objects are at fault is only the beginning. You'll need to look for several different things within the objects "makeup" folders/files to see if you can figure out why the object is at fault. For instance, is the "Type=" correct for all files? Is there a missing file in the objects "modeled" make up folder? There's lots to look for when a particular object doesn't display as it should. Using the Museum to figure out which one it is, is only the beginning.
