Instructions:
1. Open the Lower Ramp and Upper Ramp of the A400M with their relative push buttons
2. Connect the Electric Connector on the Left Winch to the front of the Cart
3. Lower the Secondary Ramp and Lower Ramp to the ground
4. Activate the Connectors on the Cart with the relative flip switch
5. Bring the Vehicle to be loaded onto the Cart (either with the Ceiling Crane or by driving it over the Cart)
6. Activate the Bottom Connectors on the Vehicle, so that it is locked to the Cart
7. Raise the Lower Ramp to horizontal position with its Up Arrow Button
8. Pull the Cart into the Cargo Bay by retracting the Left Winch
9. Lock the Cart on either one of the 2 ISO9x24 Zones, by activating it on the Touch Screen and turning on the Cart's Bottom Connectors with the relative flip switch
(If you want to lock the Cart in a position different from one of the ISO9x24 Zones, you can use the "Lock Cart" flip switch on the Cart, but be aware that this locking method is less strong than the Electric Connectors of the iSO Zones)
To [b]adapt the cart[/b] to the vehicle you need to load, just [b]move the connectors[/b] with the [b]Selection Tool[/b] in the workbench, and [b]add the corresponding connectors[/b] to the bottom of your vehicle.

Major Update #2 (v 2.0):
Completely redesigned [b]Air-Drop System[/b].
New [b]Electric Connectors[/b] have been added to the [b]Cargo Bay[/b] of the [b]Airbus A400M[/b].
These Electric Connectors allow to do [b]Staggered Air-Drops[/b] (each Crate/Vehicle is slightly delayed from the previous one, see GIF), by adjusting the “[b]Delay[/b]” Property Slider of the [b]Air-Drop Microcontroller[/b] on each Crate/Vehicle Cart (0.5 sec delay works well).
To start the Staggered Air-Drop just press the “[b]Toggle Air-Drop Connectors[/b]” Push Button (in Cockpit, Loadmaster’s Station and Ramps Panel).
Important:
[b]To connect the Crates/Carts[/b] to the new [b]Air-Drop Connectors[/b], remember to press the “[b]Toggle Air-Drop Connectors[/b]” Push Button [b]once[/b] as soon as you enter the Plane (it auto-activates for 20 sec upon spawning, then deactivates).
Moreover, [b]all the ISO Electric Connectors[/b] can now be used to do [b]Staggered Air-Drops[/b] as well (use the same Push Button to initiate the Staggered Air-Drop).
This means [b]any Cargo[/b] you attach to these Connectors can be air-dropped with this new System: you just need to add [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2150827882]this Microcontroller[/url] to control the [b]Electric Connectors on your Cargo[/b]
All the [b]Carts[/b] (Vehicle Cart v2.0, Wide Vehicle Cart v2.0, Cart for RHIB v2.0, Cargo Platform v2.0) have been [b]updated[/b] to integrate the new Air-Drop System, so they can be used to perform [b]Mixed Air-Drops[/b] (both Crates and Vehicles at the same time, see GIF).
