  |

It looks like the DropChutes don't play well with Megamek when generating files. This might require some back-and-forth with Megamek to make sure it works correctly; Megamek only has one form of re-usable DropChute and the rest are all single-use but weighted.
Not sure what the best fix is; it'd probably getting Megamek to implement other re-usable DropChutes because that's what makes sense to mount on a vehicle. The zero-weight single use DropChutes could be implemented to have weight or not to integrate with Megamek; more testing needed.
Seems to be pretty good when generated for other purposes; no other flaws noted.

MegaMek had incorrectly implemented the DropChutes, pretty much across the board. Standard DropChutes do not require weight or crits, only the reusable ones do, but there is supposed to be a reusable version for each of the three weightless one. There's really nothing to do from my end until they implement a fix, and then I can see if I need to tweak anything here.

| Figured; thanks for the quick response. They've implemented Trailer Hitches incorrectly, too - I haven't been able to use their Bug Report site for some reason, but that seems like a really simple fix that shouldn't have slipped by them.

Is the issue with trailer hitches in MML the fact they don't take up any slots when they should occupy 1?
Are you trying to enter the issue at https://github.com/MegaMek/megameklab/issues?

| Yep. I was trying to use the "report bugs" link off Google, so I didn't pay too much attention to the actual link. That link appears to work, and I don't see anything involving Trailer Hitch in the search box so I might try reporting it.
