1. Assigne "Toggle Logo Lights" keybind in settings.

Not every key will work on Xbox, for exmaple:
- Bumper triggers (LB RB) don't work
- Numb pad (any) works.
If you have additional hardware hooked up to Xbox, keybinds on that may work also. Up to you to figure out.


2. To operate the ramp doors, select (click) RAMP (UP - LEVEL - DOWN) options on the captain's clipboard.

Inflight operation:

1. Ramp to LEVEL
2. Use the "Toggle Logo Lights" keybind to initiate the airdrop.
There are 8 boxes. Each keybind pressing initiates 1 box airdrop.

How do we airdrop on XBox with J model?
I set ramp to level but then can’t seem to find any option for airdrop.
Cheers

I just bought the J model. I assigned Toggle Logo Lights to keyboard bind, joystick bind and a throttle bind button.
None of them do a drop.. and yes, the ramp is open.
Something I'm missing?

OK.. removed all addon Liveries and liveries Fix and keybinds work. Must be one of the addons that's preventing drop from working.. possibly liveries fix? Any thoughts?

Hi, airdrop no worky. Un-installed, reinstalled. Deleted the liveries, binded (only one bind) to several options (one at a time) still not able to drop the darn things.

Thoughts?

You can also lower the ramp using the notepad to the behind and to the left of the pilot's seat.  My question is, what are the speed and altitude limits for the airdrop? I sometimes trigger the drop via the key I have mapped, but others I either have to descend or climb some or adjust speed for the cargo to drop.

No limitations.
But each box is a separate object with it's own physics so the carrier position/acceleration counts until the box is out.
