Nvm. It got answered.

Would like to see the Pilot and Crew models from the SA342 minigun be standalone models with m4's to be used as a representation of special operations troops for the game. Is this possible?

I don't understand how the dev team did not have the foresight to make the cargo planes have the ability to simulate airborne drops when they have infantry units in the game and a parachute model for ejecting pilots. The game has been out for awhile and by now you would think that they would modify the transport aircraft to allow for this, it will only enhance the immersion of the world.

I am specifically talking about transport aircraft and helos. If the modules are going to feature infantry forces, the transport aircrafts and helos need to have scripts built in where infantry can be preloaded on the aircraft when setting up missions. We should be able to set up waypoints where high performance aircraft like the C-17 can drop paratroopers or that a Blackhawk could be loaded with 7 infantry troops and disembark them during an air assault. I don't understand that we could have this type of game that comes with a mission editor and a good number of assets to help create some great missions, but we have aircraft that practically do nothing. It is very frustrating trying to put together missions where I could put to use the infantry in a more dynamic way.

To be honest, I only hope for better models and animations for infantry, and to include a paratrooper model (where you have infantry troops under a parachute canopy) for the mission editor. The biggest thing that they need to do is to make the non-playable aircraft do a lot more in the simulation. Why have a C-17 and helicopters with no ability to transport troops and equipment? It would just make the sim more realistic and will greatly enhance missions. I shake my head at times when I make missions because I feel very limited given the lack of use of AI aircraft that could make my missions more dynamic. I know the devs may be busy with other stuff, but I honestly feel that dedicating to making the AI aircraft have more ability with respect to actually transporting troops by parachute, landing them at DZ's, or dropping equipment, would be a great addition to the sim.
