I think you misunderstood me. Flotilla.cfg should NOT control the boats assigned to a flotilla. I've never seen a boat listed in the Flotilla.cfg file appear in the game. I'm not saying it can't happen, but as far as I can see it shouldn't happen UNLESS the SSType***.dat files are missing. I've tested this, and even when there is no SSType***.dat file in place I haven't been able to get the game to use the Flotilla.cfg file for boat numbers. It may go there, but (perhaps through insufficient testing) I haven't been able to make it go there.
