FAR compatibility patch seems to have unfortunate results #26

I uninstalled FAR temporarily in a game where I was using M3X. This caused M3X elevons to stop working altogether (they are still present, but do not respond to control input, and the PAW lacks the UI buttons to disable/enable pitch/yaw/roll control seen on other control surfaces).

I think this is down to GameData/Mk3Expansion/Patches/M3X_FAR_Compatibility.cfg which does a bunch of:
!MODULE[ModuleControlSurface] {} which I think is unnecessary (ModuleControlSurface will be ignored in a FAR world) and has unfortunate consequences if there's still a GameData/FerramAerospaceResearch (containing no DLL, but preserved to hold a configuration file). Removing this file made the elevons start working again.

Even if I removed the FerramAerospaceResearch directory, however, the problem continued - admittedly with saved craft, but I still am at a loss to explain this.
