Supply management

Boxloader and Vehicle-in-Vehicle systems allow objects to be attached to vehicles and other loaded objects. This enables visible cargo loading and more realistic transportation of supplies and equipment.

Objects may be stacked onto other loaded objects, subject to vehicle weight and size limitations.

Excessive stacking can cause issues such as:

• Clipping and desynchronisation
• Reduced performance
• Increased server load
• Vehicle instability

To reduce these effects, use packed containers and pallets where possible. Packed objects disable simulation of their contents and are more efficient for transport.

As a general rule, limit stacking to two levels above the carrying vehicle.

Examples:

• HEMTT Flatbed → ISO Container (Packed) → Supplies
• Chinook (ViV) → Polaris → Supplies
• MTRV → Flatbed Trailer → 463L Pallet (Packed) → Supplies

• Load required supplies and equipment into vehicle inventory
• Verify requested items are present before departure
• Remove unauthorised or unnecessary items
• Deliver supplies to the designated location

• Load supplies and equipment onto vehicles using Boxloader interactions
• Use packed containers and pallets where available
• Secure loads before movement
• Ensure the unloading area is clear before unloading cargo

• Load and unload supplies using ACE Cargo interactions
• Organise cargo to maximise available space
• Coordinate with nearby personnel during loading and unloading
• Confirm cargo has been transferred before departure

• Coordinate with aircrew before the drop
• Confirm the drop location and recovery area
• Account for aircraft speed and altitude
• Consider expected drift and terrain effects
• Release supplies at the planned point
• Confirm supplies have landed in a recoverable location
