How to release/drop paratroopers?

[GKOver]

Imhave successfuly loaded 70 paratroopers but when I tell  them to jump, they won‘t leave the plane.

 

Cargo door is opened, IAS is 130-140 knots, side doors are also opened.

 

Any help is being welcomed.

How are you telling them to jump? To be honest, paratroopers dont really work well at this point. They are just basically vehicles, that parachutes attach to. They typically dont survive landing. 

Someday, ed will add new models, and they will jump correctly.

I don't even recall seeing any jumpers to load unless you're just placing regular infantry down and loading them.

Load them through the cargo menu, not the radio menu.  Then drop them just like cargo.

What option is even available to load them as cargo? I just have the standard options from the cold-and-dark instant action scenarios.

Sorry I meant the in-game checklist/cargo menu.

In the ME drop an infantry group within I think 100' of the Herc, then in-game use the checklist/cargo menu.  If you look on the right hand side there will be the option to "stage"cargo, click on that and it'll pull up a list of the loadable cargo objects.  Select your infantry, and stage them, then click the little load icon to get them loaded and secured onboard.

ah okay so for MP this won't work then.
