How do you get new models to appear in the ship selection menu in FRED?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

you the model to go in the models folder. maps to go into the maps folder, and a table entry in the ship's table for that model.

So if I wanted to use ships from FS Port how would I go about doing that?  Use vpview to get the table entries, models and maps?

[ShadowWolf_IH]

yes.  You would probably have to extract the ships table, and then the table entry for the ship in question.  To get the maps out you can either extract the entire maps folder, or you can open the extracted in PCS to determine which of the maps you need.

anyway...it sounds more complicated than it is.  you'll kick yourself when you see how easy.

Or if you just wanted to use the FSPort and FS2 ships and mods, just use the FSPort VP.

Thank's for the help

Didn't wanna start a new thread so decided to ask this here:

I'll ask with an example.  How would I keep a Deimos in position behind an Orion from ramming into the Orion while they are following the same waypoint, or basically how do I adjust speeds so that ships in line won't ram each other while following waypoints?

Do it with FRED sexps,

change/special/cap-waypoint-speed

Just set both ships to same speed.
