Hello,

I would like to know how to transport troops with mi 8, i didnt managed to make it work alone, and i have to ask how to do that ?

1. Set up some troops

2. make them transportable(if they aren't)

3. under the advanced waypoint actions set up the task(embark to transport)

4. set to your liking

 

5. tell them to embark via radio menu(video should be 1440p after YT processing)

Another tip - make sure you aren't flying with full fuel tanks. Adjust your fuel to accommodate the additional weight of the troops.

Although embarkation of troops worked flawlessly as per your example, after flying around in MP and disembarking the troops, out of the 20 soldiers only 1 would appear. No idea where the rest is...

I can't speak for your MP mission but it works perfectly fine in my little SP test mission.

- embark 20 troops at farp

- transport them to the outpost (~20km)

- disembark new troops(20) and embark old troops(20)

- fly back to FARP(~20km) and disembark "old troops(20)"

- nav aid via ARC-9

- it's warm and the MI-8 is a little heavy(65% fuel, door gunners, 2x rocket pods + 2 x 23mm gun pods) -> but works good with the additional 20 troops
