Deliver Cargo

A valid cargo run stages the correct crate, moves it to a site that accepts it and sets it down at that site's delivery point.

For internal transport, use only the F10: Other > Cargo radio menu to load and unload Torque Tycoon crates. DCS's built-in rearm/reload and cargo-loading menus do not work with these crates.

Internal Cargo Run

  1. At the Source or Factory, open F10: Other > Tycoon > My Location.
  2. Use Show stock here, then Spawn any staged or Spawn cargo for the required material.
  3. Position the aircraft close enough to the crate, then use F10: Other > Cargo > Load nearby to load it.
  4. Open Tycoon > Navigation > Cargo Sites and use Refresh nearest sites if the cargo was just loaded.
  5. Select the destination and use Deploy smoke when a visual marker is useful.
  6. Approach the destination's delivery point: the helipad at an active Tycoon site, its marked construction point if it is not commissioned yet, or the Tycoon tent at an airfield.
  7. Settle low and almost stationary, then unload with F10: Other > Cargo > Drop loaded.

Success. The matching crate is consumed by the destination and its stock, Reserve or operating state changes. Crates at helipads are placed in free positions around the pad so that they do not stack or block the landing spot.

At airfields, look for the Tycoon tent and unload nearby rather than using an arbitrary parking position.

If the delivery does not count. Read the F10 result and check that the aircraft was settled at the correct delivery point and that the site accepts the cargo. A Settlement whose Food store already reads FULL takes no more Food: the crate stays on the ground and can be flown to a Settlement that still has room. Cargo Sites remains empty until internal cargo is aboard. If a Source appears blocked, inspect its stored and staged crates before assuming that production has failed.

Slingload Delivery

  1. Choose the destination from the Live Map or the nearby-site navigation before lifting the crate.
  2. Attach the Tycoon crate with the helicopter's normal cargo-hook controls.
  3. Fly it to the appropriate helipad, marked construction point or Tycoon tent and set it down there.
  4. Tycoon detects the sling pickup and set-down automatically. No additional internal load-and-drop cycle is required.

Cargo Sites is based on internally loaded cargo and may therefore remain empty while a crate is on the hook.
