This is a standalone version of the Saturn Mobile Launcher
from my Simple Overhaul Project.  It has been configured to work
with the Saturn/Sarnus 5 from the Bluedog Design Bureau mod.

It also can be used with other rockets, there just needs to be a free
stack attach node at the bottom of the first/core stage.  An
engine would woork, but it's best to make a Module Manager patch
to add a size 5 node to whatever part will be used to attach the
launcher base to.

The tower and swing arms can be moved using the offset gizmo to
adjust the positioning.

The Mobile Launcher pack contains the following parts:

The Mobile Launcher Base
The Launch Umbilical Tower (or just "tower")
The Tail Service Mast (three were used on the Mobile Launcher)
Nine swing arms representing the actual Saturn V tower arms
The hammerhead crane (no hoisting capability).

The launcher base attaches to a size 5 node at the bottom of the
BDB Saturn V S-IC via another size 5 node in the flame hole.

The tower then attaches to the other size 5 node on the base.

Three tail service masts and the nine swing arms attach to the other
nodes on the base and the front-right vertical beam of the tower.

The crane attaches to a node on top of the tower.

Both the base and tower include a working elevator for crew access
to the the Command Module from the ground.

The elevators, swing arms and tail service mast move/retract by
an animation; the arms and tail service masts will need to be
action-grouped during a launch.
