|---|---|
| Wood / Logs | about 125 kg |
| Grain | about 125 kg |
| Food | about 125 kg |
| Lumber | about 125 kg |
| Oil | about 250 kg |
| Steel | about 500 kg |
| Building Materials | about 500 kg |
| Fuel | about 500 kg |
| Industrial Parts | about 1,000 kg |

Cargo weight is separate from fuel, weapons and normal DCS flight performance. Leave a safe takeoff and landing margin.
Does any aircraft have a special role?
A UH-1H Food delivery makes the receiving Settlement recover Trust half again as fast for ten minutes; later Huey Food deliveries refresh rather than stack the timer. The Flight Academy doubles that existing perk. Recover an Unrest Settlement explains when to use it.
