I'm also curious how ED will implement to control four engines with a maximum of two throttles. Group them to pairs inner/outer, left/right ... ? Also how to load and unload cargo, troops ect. I'm exited.

Couple things: ED isnt implementing any engines. The Airplane Simulation Company is. But I am pleased to inform you that it is possible to bind throttles in any configuration!

I know that at the moment there won't be any paratroops on launch (until ED adds them) But can we transport troops inside?

even if for now there's maybe no visual model yet, it would be great to transport troops to and from an airbase/FOB. But i guess that wouldn't be possible unless

troops are part of the warehouse system. Might have to CTLD troops in the meantime between points. 

Just a thought I had

Silly question but will it be possible to fall to my death as load master? Or will I always have a strap keeping me safe. It’s not an important feature, but it would be kind of amusing.

I hope that current model of trasporting troops works here, but Im not 100% sure, I asked it too but I didnt recive the answer yet.

Yes, the current system for troops should work.
