I am looking for an add-on as an example that uses Velcro Rockets attached stage functionality. I am working on an add-on and this seems like the perfect method to make a "payload" with a 2D cockpit or VC visible during assent without having to write a custom .dll for all the stages of a rocket.

This would also seem to allow the payload to be used on any booster combination that you could dream up as long as it was supported by Velcro.

The Velcro documentation mentions using an attached stage for this purpose but I cannot find any examples of this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try the Alternate Shuttles scenarios included in Velcro. If I understand you correctly, what you're looking for is a parallel burning Velcro stage, which is exactly what the Space Shuttles SRBs are. :thumbup:

Also, the Velcro documentation has a guide to the many different types of stages used by the system.

I must not have been very clear in what I was asking. It turns out that I was looking for something like the DG Booster add-ons where the DG is the last stage and is visible in the scenario and not a payload that pops up when the last stage is jettisoned.
