Cargo System Guide

[flick]

Is it possible to have the Centre of Gravity change according to where the cargo is loaded on the Chinook. Cheers

The ammo crates should be able to resupply ground units like SAM and Artillery. Would give the transport helos a nice job to do

Very true.

 I don't play transport roles much, but I just found out about the new supply and transport systems..........VERY SWEET

Will this guide be updated / added to, to incorporate the changes referenced in the latest build around cargo unhook events automatically influencing warehouse levels?

Is there anything that reflects the weight of each cargo item and the total weight of the cargo as currently packed, i.e. if filling a container, what does the container weigh with the currently selected items?

Can the included User Manual be updated to include info on this Dynamic Cargo button? Currently, the section on Warehouses and their Resource Manager shows screenshots without this feature.

Any news about when other helicopters will have access to the new cargo system?

It was advertised in a previous update but was not included in the end.

Bump

@BIGNEWY Any chance we will see a first person capable load master similar to what ASC has done with the C-130J?  So we can walk around inside/outside of the CH-47?

[SimMotionTuning]

Is there anyway to detect if dynamic cargo has been delivered to a trigger zone? The only option in the ME is 'CARGO UNHOOKED IN ZONE' and it doesn't have an option to select cargo that is dynamically spawned, only cargo that are placed physically in the ME.

Thanks

Just catching this here as well , so it doesn't get missed.

If you transport cargo from a ship to another ship then the cargo doesn't link to the new ship and disappears (as expected really), a little tweak in the code to somehow link that cargo to the new home is needed please

With the C130 to come, and its cargo logic, it would be good if the CH47 (or any UH) cargo logic would have the same behavior: weight and space limitations. As far as I know, for now, the cargo weight & volume are not linked to its content as I can load 100 units of each weapon in a 1500kg cargo box. Taking the AIM-120C as example: 

• It seems its weight is around 156kg. WIth 50% of fuel aCH47 should be limited in weight to 60x AIM-120C.
• Same with volume: taking the hypothesis we do not have a container for each missile, 3.66x0.64x0.64m = 1.5m3. A CH47 cargo is around 43m3... So, only capable to load 29 missiles without containers.

For the gameplay, I can understand that realistic limitations may be not the solution, but it would be good to let mission creators defining the limit per cargo: content and associated weight.

A solution could be using 2 factor parameters based on munitions weight and dimensions. To get closer to reality, facors could be above 1 to reflect the existence of containers, like 1.2 for space, and 1.5 for weight. For gameplay needs, mission creators would be able to use factors below 1, like 0.1 meaning that they will be able to load 10 times the default cargo capacity.

Just thoughts...
