Cargo not dropping - 5/20/2017 8:16:20 AM

Command v1.12 - Built 936.11
Chains Of War purchased and integrated.

Running the scenario in Command WOTY edition

C-130j loaded with 1x 150mm Howitzer.
Cargo ops enabled.
Cargo shown as "Cargo: 1"

When I right click 'Unload Cargo' nothing happens.

Tried at multiple altitudes and speeds.

It's probably not even a technical issue, more so me missing something.

150mm Howitzer isn't able to be paradropped.

Hmm, is there any way to tell what can or can't?

I've tried personnel like SAS Saboteurs, spetznaz.

it wont work with Unit Weapons which I kind of understand, but nothing from the cargo editor will drop.

And even loading things from the Cargo load/unload option at an airfield, it wont load things from the magazine that specifically state 'paratrooper' or 'cargo air drop', despite them showing up as 'Weapons', which before the CoW I understood did nothing.

I figured this would be an issue on my end.

To paradrop cargo there are two requirements: the loadout of the aircraft needs to be a paradrop capable loadout (For example the C-130 has a 64x Paratrooper loadout) and the cargo itsself needs to be paradrop capable as well. A list of paradrop capable cargo is here http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=4287880

C-130H with 64x Paratrooper loadout.
loaded with an SA-14 Gremlin [9K34 Strela-3] MANPADS from the list you provided

And Cargo ops enabled.
right clicked the C-130
"Unload cargo" nothing happened.

I don't even know what it's meant to look like, could it be the relief layer being off? the unit view? the "cargo 1" as seen in the image remains no matter how many times I click 'unload' no visible change.

I've tried loading stuff from an airfield and into the aircraft, it wont drop that either.

(can't post links until 10 days but URL: imgur /a/kemd4

that's what I'm seeing at this time.

I watched your video 'Cargo Demo Part 1' followed intently, still doesn't work unfortunately.

I assigned it a cargo mission on the location you marked, and the C-130 drop the unit fine

.
Does seem to have some difficulty with the 'unload cargo' menu though.

I had an instance where it took a little bit of time for the air-delivered unit to show up on the screen.

Same here.... Cargo mission is ok, but the 'unload cargo' tab doesn't seemed to work for me too...

and I accidentally discovered my Inf Sec can load any cargo, including a Leopard tank... so the 'Cargo' tab shows many cargo loaded 'onto the' Inf Sec, but nothing can be unloaded... not sure how that makes sense...
