Note on the craters: The impact effects/sounds work for both weapons/cargo loads, The HUC6E (HUCCrater) has only showed up for me 30% of the time on any terrain I tested with. The M-113 APC (APCCRATER) has only showed up if I assigned the crater type (7) to a 500lb_Bomb, so I know they work.

Note on HUC6E: The parachute deploy animation it timed to the “Subsonic Drag Cd” and the”Drag Area Multiplier”. If these values are change unsatisfactory results may accrue.
