Trying to input this beast:

Payload on this beast was 105,000 lbs out to a radius of 1,150 miles. Unfortunately, the payload field in AE only goes up to about 65,000 lbs. [:@]



However, in the SAC for the XC-99 I have, it has radius of action for different payloads, so I was able to input a historically accurate one for the reduced load; 60,000 lbs out to a radius of 2,300 miles.

And yes, the Ferry range is accurate. [X(]

Why are you calling it a heavy bomber?

In WITP bombers could not transport troops. I don't know if that happens in AE too.

Why are you calling it a heavy bomber?

In all the WITP Scenarios, the C-54 Skymaster has the heavy bomber flag ON. I figured that was to prevent such a large aircraft from being misused by the player, by using the new "size of aircraft" routine for handling heavy bombers at certain size airbases.

Or is this a bug?

No, that's true enough. It's for the biggest planes; I'd forgotten.

Can they still move troops?
