Dev Aveza and LotD issue

[polearbair]

Okay, here's my situation...

 

I'm running Skyrim SE version 1.9.57

I've got Legacy of the Dragonborn 5.6.5 installed

And Dev Aveza 1.9.73

 

I just recently deleted all of my old save which to my surprise turned out to be 11,281 saves taking up over 13 gig of space.lol

 

I realized that once I got my load order stable I was never going to load any of those old save anyway so I just got rid of them.

 

I started a new game as is often suggested by mod authors and rushed my way through the early stages of the LotD just to get access to the Dev Aveza for testing and as soon as I had the ship I first used it's fast travel ability to move it from Solitude to a city that doesn't have it's own world space, in this case I chose Falkreath and then when I hit the E key while looking at the right half of the ships wheel, to my delight, the manual flying of the ship actually worked.

 

I was such a happy camper at this point because getting the manual flight to work with LotD installed is something I've always had a great deal of difficulty with.

 

At this point since it was still very early in the game It seemed like a good time to try to get another mod that I like to work, the Proteus mod.

 

I had an older version of the mod installed but hadn't yet updated to the current 3.3.0 because I've been using iAFT and the newer version only supports NFF.

 

So, I removed iAFT and all of it's related patches and installed NFF 2.8.3b and Proteus 3.3.0 and again deleted my old saves, you know, the ones where the manual flight was working. lol

 

And again started a new game and again rushed through the early stages of the LotD quests just to get the Dev Aveza and now suddenly it doesn't work anymore.

 

I did the same steps as previously mentioned, fast traveled it do Falkreath first only this time when I click on the right side of the ships wheel to activate the manual flight mode I see the message in the top left about preparing for flight and here the ding, ding, ding of the ships bell as you'd expect then the camera pulls back as it does in the "attached to ship" mode and then I see the "Dev Aveza Ready" message but don't here the ding, ding, ding.

 

I waited for about 20 to 30 seconds roughly and still didn't here the ships bell so I just decided to try the shift key to ascend but nothing happened. I tried the other flight controls, turning strafing, moving forward, etc... but nothing worked. The ship won't budge.

 

Seeing as how it just worked just fine in the previous attempt I get the feeling that there's something really minor and stupid stopping it from flying that I'm just overlooking but I can't figure out what that might be.

 

Anybody got any Ideas about what I might be missing?
