Rag Tag Fleet Control pop-up

[Jon]

Rag Tag Fleet Control pop-up is a small pop-up that adds the ability for other add-ons to launch from the battlestar and flatbed or to land/attach to the flatbed.

RTF  Control pop-up

The ship must meet very specific requirements in that it must have a fleet compatible child attach point as the first child point. An excellent example of a ship that does not meet this requirement is the old QuadJ Raptor or depending on what version you have, the Colonial One.  An excellent example of a ship that can be made to land on the flatbed or launch from the battlestar using this pop-up is the DeltaGlider. Just add the required child attach point to the config file and you are set to go.

It is called FlatControl.DLL and it goes into the Modules/Plugins folder. To use it add FlatControl under the Orbiter Modules tab.
Use Ctrl F4 to bring up the plug-ins dialog and select RTF Control. (No I don't know why I used two different names.)

This pop-up is as far as I’m willing to go to force other add-ons to be fleet compatible. If your favorite add-on doesn’t work with it or the fleet then contact the add-on author and ask them if they are willing to make it fleet compatible.  As soon as I get everything locked down I will be posting all the information to make add-ons fleet compatible and it is up to the add-on authors to comply or not.

later,
Jon

I have solved the problem with having to have the Flatbed ship named flatbed.
You can now name it anything and have more than one flatbed in a scenerio.

I have also made changes as needed to the pop-up.
