FYI I've updated this mod with a TON of changes here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3540066597

It should include this fix as well. Thanks for your contribution Aspect! I've structured it open source under GPL 3.0 so you can fork the GitHub repo and make more changes if you want haha. All contributors are welcome.

Original creator said this, you can find it at the bottom of the original mod description at this moment:

"Feel free to modify and re-upload if you make significant changes. Otherwise, share your feedback with me so I can improve it for everyone!"

So I'd say this is exactly that :) Thanks for taking the time to improve an already amazing mod!

Thank you for this, I love drones and remote controlling vessels but when I found out this mod was the cause of my crashes I was deeply saddened, the creator seemingly vanished from what I saw as he hasn't been active yet.

(the mod hasn't been updated until now so I believe either something happened or he's taking a long break)

I attempted to add him as a friend to tell him about the issue in hopes he fixes it himself, but he did not respond to the friend request. That was 8 days ago, and my friend request is still pending.

As I mentioned in the description - I'll gladly take this down once the original one is patched. I'm only really using this in a private friend server, and needed to upload it to get it on the server, but I figured others might benefit from the fix too.

Did you get permission from the original creator? Not trying to play cop, just curious
