 +| ''Cargo'' | Load, deliver, store and drop crates. |

 +</code> 
 + 
 +====Storage==== 
 + 
 +Storage takes crates out of the stock of the site you are at. Pick the cargo, then how many crates you want. A crate taken out of a store is the same crate that was stored. 
 + 
 +^ Entry ^ Crates taken out ^ 
 +| Spawn max free slots | As many as your aircraft has free slots, even beyond its rated payload. | 
 +| Spawn max payload | As many as stay within your aircraft's rated payload. | 
 +| Spawn 1 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 24 crates | The fixed number, or whatever is left if the site holds less. | 
 + 
 +Some of a site's crates may first have to be brought out of its storage. That takes a few seconds, and the crates appear once they have arrived. Where they appear depends on the site, see [[components:cargo|Cargo]]. 
 + 
 +Messages you may see: 
 + 
 +^ Message ^ Meaning ^ 
 +| ''bringing N more <cargo> from storage...'' | The crates are on their way; wait a few seconds. | 
 +| ''only X of Y <cargo> requested are in storage - spawning what is available'' | The site holds fewer crates than requested. You get all of them. | 
 +| ''out of range for cargo here (X m away, max Y m)'' | Too far from the site: 500 m at an airfield, 80 m for an airplane at a pad, 30 m for a helicopter at a pad. Nothing is taken out. | 
 +| ''no room to place cargo near your aircraft'' | No free space behind the aircraft. Move a little and try again. | 
 +| ''rated payload already reached'' | **Spawn max payload** has nothing left to add. Use **Spawn max free slots** to load beyond it. | 
 +| ''cargo bay full'' | No free slot left. | 
 + 
 +At an [[components:airfields|airfield]], the first row ''Stored x/y'' shows how full its shared storage is. 
 + 
 +====Cargo==== 
 + 
 +Use ''Cargo'' whenever a Torque Tycoon crate moves between the ground and the aircraft's internal cargo hold. DCS's built-in rearm/reload and cargo-loading menus do not recognize Tycoon crates. Slingloads use the helicopter's cargo hook; a crate set down from the sling is delivered or stored from **Nearby**. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +├─ Cargo 
 +│  ├─ Show cargo status 
 +│  ├─ Load nearby 
 +│  │  ├─ Load all nearby 
 +│  │  └─ Load <Crate>                     (one per crate nearby) 
 +│  ├─ Deliver                             (only where the site takes deliveries)

 +│  │  │  ├─ Deliver all (N) 
 +│  │  │  └─ Deliver 1, 2, 4, 6, 24 
 +│  │  └─ <Cargo> (N on ground)            (one per cargo lying at the site) 
 +│  │     ├─ Deliver all (N) 
 +│  │     └─ Deliver 1, 2, 4, 6, 24 
 +│  ├─ Store                               (only where the site has a store; same shape, with the fee) 
 +│  │  ├─ Store all loaded (N x 75 GEL) 
 +│  │  ├─ <Cargo> (N loaded) 
 +│  │  └─ <Cargo> (N on ground) 
 +│  └─ Drop loaded                         (sets crates down without delivering them) 
 +│     ├─ Drop all loaded (N) 
 +│     └─ <Cargo> (N loaded) 
 +│        ├─ Drop all (N) 
 +│        └─ Drop 1, 2, 4, 6, 24 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +**Deliver** and **Store** only appear where the site takes the cargo; which site takes what is listed under [[components:cargo|Cargo]]. The Store entries show the storage fee. Both also work from the wreck of an aircraft that was brought down in one piece. 
 + 
 +Every cargo offers the same steps, whatever is aboard: a step larger than what is there unloads all of it. Crates leave the hold in the order they were loaded; crates on the ground go nearest first. 
 + 
 +==== Navigation ====
