I had recently installed Shuttle Fleet on Orbiter 2016, but the current version for the addon is V4.8. As soon as I activated the shuttle's main engines, the spacecraft collapses before the SRBs ignited.

In order to recompile an addon you need to have the source code availabe.
That plus you'd need permission to re-distribute it so others can enjoy it, too. Even if you have the code available, that doesn't mean that you are allowed to distribute updated binaries.
I know that Fred is aware of this, but like to mention it because it is surprisingly common that folks mix "source code is available" with "I can do what I want with it".
Shuttle fleet being one of the best addons in orbiter is sad but it to like the shuttle won't fly again. if a mfd could be done like afcs then the Atlantis could do most of what Shuttle Fleet did.
Well that may answer an question about reusing the textures
I am am to repaint the 2016 Atlantis with I believe ST textures. and recode the Atlantis to just change the mesh.
So you get 2016 shuttles.
Not not sure if it is ok to then share them.
Well there was this;

But I think you run into sharing them.
If these textures are derived work from the SSU project content, it will fall under GPL.
I have STS textures. Not sure where /or who did them.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/shuttleultra/I believe SSU is LGPL - which is significantly more permissive as far as derived work is concerned (i.e. does not force you to license derived work GPL).
