Doable also with GR2 units.
No matter if on dat or GR2 ships, I see two ways to accomplish the task.
First method:
- adding a flagstaff to the stern of each ship;
- moving the flag node to the new position;
- tilting slightly the displaced flag node, if the flagstaff is not completely vertical.
Second method:
- moving the flag node to where we want the flagpole to be connected with the stern of each ship;
- converting the flag node into an equipment node;
- storing several flagpoles in a library file, and adding different flag nodes to them (four in total, one for each flagpole model, one for each combination of naval / civil, small / large);
- linking the most appropriate flagpole/flag to each ship through eqp file.
This last method might sound more complicated, but if it works it would ease our job because flag and flagpole would be one piece, and we wouldn't get to align these two elements for each vessel. The one doubt I have, is if a flag node placed on an equipent would work just as well as when it is placed directly on an unit; this must be tested.
Sure, whatever method is used, editing the nodes of each ship in game would be a little PITA
Sure,
