Hi,
I had the same problem for some of the mods the first time I launched them.
The solution I found was, if you launch a mod where you start spinning, simply exit Q2, and restart it. The next time it launches, everything should be fine. I think it has to do with a config file missing or something, but when you quit Q2 (the proper way using the QUIT menu option), it writes a config file upon shutting down. Next time you launch it, the file is no longer missing.
Hope this works for you. It did for me.
Cheers,
Stuart
