[b]Do any of you guys have (or know where to find) the .SH and .pic files to use for paratroopers?[/b]

I messed around with the files for ejection, but he just rides the seat down.

Over the summer, I did develop a 28 MK-82 bomb clip which my bombers use to carpet bomb with.

Also, I have Sega Afterburner music files for Fighters Anthology. File sizes total 16 MB.

If anyone's interested in either, let me know.

I went a different way... My paratroopers are modifications of the ejection shape but they are not dropped by the carrying aircraft... Instead they are placed were you want them to drop and they "eject" from an invisible shape and float down (2 paratroopers per invisible plane) ... you just have to be imaginative so that you have a ground bombardment going on for when the invisible plane crashes into the ground after the paras ejected and blows up it doesn't stand out...

They will always eject because the invisible aircraft has almost no fuel.

Now *that* is a pretty creative idea! Something I'm curious about is if you've found a way to get past the aircraft limit per mission in FA? I imagine that a large paratrooper drop would take up quite a few of these invisible aircraft, limiting the number of aircraft available to use for the rest of the mission?

Unfortunately no, that is a hard coded limit and I have not found a way around it... But you dont really need that many in the air at once anyway as you can simulate on going ground warfare from those paras that have already hit the ground before you entered the mission and are engaging the enemy while the rest float down... This ground combat also provides cover for all the invisible planes crashing into the ground.
