Greetings to all

I am in the process of making missions for CFS2 Pacific using the C-47 as a theme.  We all know the types of missions they flew, bsides being the official airline of the USAAF, they also delivered supplies.

I am having difficulty up the wazoo  with a new trial concept and desperately need your help.

I have an "aircraft" folder named chute, I can put the paratrooper in the C-47, it shows up as a weapon load, and though it looks funky with an open chute sticking up out of the plane, I can select it as a weapon and drop one at a time (total of ten) The major problem is how to get the additional C-47's (AI) in the flight to drop them as there is "attack with" - but nothing that says chute for options in the Mission Builder, is that an option that can be added? Attack with all weapons didn't help either.

I'm guessing the paratroopers DP is set up as if he was a bomb. If thats the case then you'll want to use the "Attack with Bombs" option. But, to do that you'll need to set up the mission as a Strike, or Anti-Shipping.

1.  There's a nice new C-119 over at SimOuthouse that already has the paratroopers installed and working.
They fit nicely inside the large fuselage.  8)

2.  Though I have tried many DP combinations that claim to allow AIs to drop an entire load, I have never had any success.   AIs seem to just drop one at a time.  :-[

3.  Though the C-119's DP can be made to salvo all ten troopers in the player aircraft,  visually it looks much better to just keep hitting the release until they're all out.  Looks more like a stick that way.
