Raider carrier warp in with fighters docked solution
Well I have a working version.  It needs a bit of refinement but it works.  Raiders.fs2

not tested in non-zatras 3.6.9

No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

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

Re: Raider carrier warp in with fighters docked solution
I'm impressed you managed to find a solution, FUBAR -- I recall this problem had been bedeviling TBP designers for years.

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.

Re: Raider carrier warp in with fighters docked solution
Actually I didn't do anything special to make it work.  It was either a code fix or just a solution never tried before.  It is a bit of a hack as it uses fake wings and jettison cargo instead of actual wings and undocking.

Who does it work now?

Re: Raider carrier warp in with fighters docked solution
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.

Re: Raider carrier warp in with fighters docked solution
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.
