I fired up the editor to try and paradrop some troops from a C-130. I spawned the plane together with 20 regular riflemen. Getting them in wasn't a problem. Getting them out again was. During flight I couldn't find an eject order for my soldiers and telling them to disembark did nothing either. I tried slowing down and changing my height but that didn't change anything. I landed the C-130 and back on the ground my men wouldn't get out until the engines had come to a full stop and even then they took their time. When they finally appeared a massacre ensued. Some bug caused them to horribly hurt themselves while exiting the plane. I lost almost half of my riflemen. Long story short: did I do something wrong or isn't it possible to paradrop NPC soldiers from a C-130?

I love the smell of Hellfire exhaust fumes in the morning!

Enjoying the demo immensely. I was still a bit apprehensive about ArmA 2 beforehand, but after playing it all weekend I will get this as soon as it hits the shops. One thing I haven't figured out btw: how do I turn the UI off? I want to make some screenshots.
