Let's say I want to have a squad of Osttruppen dropped from a plane. (Savage, I know.) I need to add the parachute to their ABP file for it to show up in-game. I can just copy that line from OKW Fallschirmjäger, for example:

Code
"..\\..\\..\\aef\\props\\parachute\\parachute",


I then add a paradrop_ext to the Osttruppen squad and entity as well as clone and modify the USF paratrooper ability, plane squad and entity. And everything works just fine - but it looks pretty horrible.



The parachutes are properly animated, but the soldiers themselves are not - they just seem to "stand" in the air while floating down. And I don't seem do be the first person to have this problem:

Has anyone found a possible solution yet? Any input is appreciated.

Unfortunately, the animations are specific to the Paratrooper model.

I feared as much. Thanks for the clarification!
