Pilot guide

This section is for pilots — how to operate CTLD from the cockpit through the F10 radio menu: transporting troops, sling-loading crates, deploying vehicles and JTACs, and more. If you are building or configuring a mission, see the Mission Maker guide instead.

What CTLD lets you do

CTLD turns a transport helicopter (and some fixed-wing aircraft) into a logistics platform. You fly to a zone, use the F10 → CTLD menu to load or spawn what you need, carry it, and set it down where it is wanted. Menu entries are context-sensitive — they appear based on your aircraft, whether you are on the ground or airborne, and whether you are inside a relevant zone.
