cargo drop

[jimski]

Is there such a thing as a cargo drop type of "weapon" for csf2? Substitute for a bomb but maybe a big box with a parachute?

i have seen a paratroop for the C47 but not sure how it works i think the chute is always open
there is also the daisy cutter but as far as something with working parachutes, i don't think so

[jimski]

I guess I didn't really find anything I could use. There is a great Ju52 model in fs2002 that is supposed to do troop drops. I couldn't get the troop drop feature to work right off but the model is really grand. The daisy cutter is too large.

By the way, I am trying to simulate the B24 cargo drop mission shown at

http://www.b24.net/missions/MM032445.htm

The original navigator's map is shown there plus all the details needed to get a realistic mission.

now he has it set to blow up but maybe a modify the dp to smoke instead

not exactly what you wanted but is a start

[jimski]

Yes, a start! The ammo crate drop is about exactly what is needed. It just barely fits into the B24 with a little tinkering - a small bit of parachute sticks out the side.

I don't see offhand how to change the effect from the 250 pound bomb. I assume the info is stored in the paradrop bgl file and I don't know how to tinker with that. I could change the effect of the small bomb in its dp file but that would change all other missions with that bomb. Is there a way to disect the bgl file?
