General Question How to parachute UCGO cargos on Mars?

[marcheenek]

I've tried to drop some UCGO cargos while in the air on Mars and they just fall down, without deploying a parachute. Any suggestions?

unlike Cargo Pallets from a C-130, UCGO cargoes have no parachute

they do, Mojoey, but they only deploy if you drop them from orbit, on a entry orbit, once to a set hight it should deploy, but maybe it's only for earth

I can't find it anymore right now, but just yesterday I saw a screenshot of an Arrow Freighter parachuting a (very) long row of UCGO cargoes...it was on Earth though.

Ripley its in the demo's area of the UCGO area, thats where it was from.

Incorrect. I have parachuted UCGO cargos over Earth by dropping them from the whiteknight. I have screenshots of it too.

For my own Mars drop I was looking at [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4657"]UCGO Cargo Container[/ame] and the Parachute/rocket pack from the World of 2001 addon.

There is really no enough pressure on mars to slow down a cargo with such chute size.

Earth pressure 101 KPa
Mars Pressure 0.60 kPa
