I've searched in several topics for the answers...but can't find one.
If I have GLIDERS available as a transport - how do I select it?

When I try to transport equipment - and Gliders are available to me (Nikivdd's LOV Campaign)
I see the various air transports I have - but don't know how to select the one I want?
I always get the same transport plane and if I'm not over an airfield - I cannot drop the goods.

??? Anyone know the function for selecting which transport you want to use?

Thanks!

The game always selects the Ju 52 transport plane first, then the gliders. The player cannot select. Units always embark air transport when on an airfield. Paratroopers (not other infantry class unit) in a Ju 52 can drop anywhere, just like any unit in a glider. The other infantry class units can only disembark on an airfield when in a Ju 52. Only when a unit is on an airfield that cannot embark a Ju 52 (like a panzer), then it will select the glider or Me 323. The glider will be selected as soon as no free Ju 52 is available. Which unit can embark which transport can be checked in the e-file.

Thanks Nikivdd!
I knew in the beginning of the Norway scenario I had a glider I was able to use, and I assumed I could use it later when trying to transport my artillery. I understand now how it works.

By the way - nice new AVATAR you have!

In one of DLC 42-43 West read the scenario closely since you have a small force and will need to use gliders to reposition forces during it.
