[1.12.x] Flat-Bottom Shuttle Systems Updated

[linuxgurugamer]

@Starlord Kerman make a nice little shuttle kit, he's left the scene and let me adopt this.  Original thread is here:  https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/181434-flat-bottom-shuttle-systems/

Flat-Bottom Shuttle Systems is a modular parts pack which allows you to build flat-bottom space planes!

These parts have a triangular cross-section of 2.5m and, due to the flat bottom, provide some lift. Please note, the RasterPropMonitor mod is required for the IVAs and will have to be downloaded separately. Comments and feedback are appreciated. 

Updated: 3/17/2019

The latest update includes surface-attachable wings, added adapters for Mk2, Mk2.5 and Mk3, and new engine mounting plates. Now uses B9 Part Switch.

hi, excuse me if I happen to be mistaken but using this mod gives me a b9 fatal exception that says "No tank type named 'FBCM' exists", removing the mod gets rid of the error

and going through the log it appears to me that it happens when it tries to load parts from this mod (I don't really know how to read logs, so I might be wrong) 

unsure if this is a problem with my heavily modded install or if there's something wrong with the b9 configs.

I see it. The tank type name is defined with the name FBSM. Sorry. I thought I fully applied that. It was, for a short while, originally named FBCM.

@linuxgurugamer PR sent with fix.
