Just got back into playing WinSPMBT and need some help. I'm curently palying the campaign "Cold Steel", in the third battle I am reguired to airlift all units (troops and vehicles to an airfield using CH-47D. However, I can't seem to get them loaded onto the CH-47Ds. Someone help please.

At which level does the problem occur?

Can you load at some of the units but not all?
If so, the load capacity of the helos may have been changed. that would hint at some kind of tampering with the .obf files.

Did you follow the overall loading procedure? Click on the carrier/carriee unit, press 'L' or click the 'load' button, then select the other unit?
Did you make sure that both units were on the same hex?
I don't think the helo is required to be landed before loading up, but you may want to check.

Sorry if that sounds like gameplay-for-dummies explanations, but troubleshooting has to start somewhere.

I play tested that campaign and it takes more than 1 tip to move everyone. I think it was 3 trips with 1 and 4 with the other help. you can do it.

Remember that only the last two digits of lift capacity for a unit depict number of men it can transport. If there's a third digit the first one refers to heavy equipment types that can be transported. So a capacity of 132 means that 32 men can be transported and light equipment can be transported (like jeeps, light guns, mortars etc).
