Title: Raider carrier warp in with fighters docked solution
Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on April 10, 2009, 02:38:24 pm: Well I have a working version. It needs a bit of refinement but it works. Raiders.fs2 (http://fubar5.fubar.org/tbp/Raiders.fs2)

not tested in non-zatras 3.6.9

This is beyond a joke. I modelled every polygon of the raider carrier, uvmapped it, textured half of it, and converted it! STOP USING MY WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!!

....Oh here we go again

Yes you are right. Post deleted. This is a drop in the ocean. Consider the post made in error. I will not comment on this further.

I think that says it all.

Who does it work now?
I've appear to have misplaced the mail I got from mantis on the topic recently

Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on April 11, 2009, 05:45:25 pm: Well the underlying bugs still probably exist but this works around them. I wouldn't try using wings or undock. You also have to order the fighters to play dead and give them 0 initial speed.

Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on June 01, 2009, 02:50:54 pm: It might but the sequence takes longer and there would be more timing involved. Jettison can be used on individual ships as well as all of them.
