You should probably post this in the 'Problems' section. And be more specific. What happens when you try to airdrop an SF?

That's because the country you're dropping it in is too far away. It's out of range of your transporters.

We think it does work.
a general comment like "It does not work" is not enough to go by.

Please let us know what you have done and where it did not work.
also world name, country name etc. will help us to go and check.

we see remote bases and depots all the time but we are very interested in any potential error and will fix it immediately if it becomes clear where it is.

if out of range, there should be a message. If there is none, that would be an error too.

you can also mail the gamemaster if you want, and we will look into it and solve it.

also, check to make sure you actually have air transport units, you need min 25 military transport plains for one ATU. you probably checked that, just throwing it out their. the more you have the faster the drop/lift, i try to make a point of having each country to have 100 fully stocked ATUs. but i do ALLOT of airlifting.

also, if your unit is in enemy territory, unless you have already dropped, and completed the RDU, it wont let you airlift out. the unit has to have a freindly, or owned airport in the country that is being dropped/lifted FROM.

shrug, just some things to check

From attack target screen SF unit is given as 11500km. Air drop range is 12000 right?
