Please update when you can. This mod looks AMAZING! Reminds me of Coyote's Missions. :steamthumbsup:

As a point of reference, because wasn't obvious, the mod on Nexus is called Orbital Drop Airstrike Replacement rather than VehicleDropAR, for those wanting to download the newer version from there.

Sadly, I cant get the mod to work at all with the latest DLC / patch it keeps crashing on startup where it used to run fine before.

I wish there was a mod allowing you to use full potential of your army. When i have 12 mechs and 12 pilots in garage and can only use 4 at once, it feels a bit unfair. If there was a mod allowing to deploy 4 more of your pilots it would be awesome

Yeah this mod causes a Fatal Error: LowLevelFatalError [File: Unknown] [Line: 3146] Could not find superStruct RecieveBeginPlay to create RecieveBeginPlay
The nexus mod works but the list of units to spawn is different.

I posted a bug on the Nexus mod page, but I will post here:

Turning on/off the Remove Initial Timer does not seem to be working. It always takes 60s before I can perform a drop.

Also, sometimes, the units I have configured to drop doesn't spawn anything. The ODAR.log file shows it finds the selections fine, but nothing spawns.

Also, what is the logic behind when you can actually negotiate for airstrikes? Do you need to be higher standing? Need higher level? I feel like 85% of the missions don't allow for airstrikes, meaning I can't spawn any extra stuff.

I also seem to always get invalid intro date for any drops.

While it doesn't conflict with any other mods, I had it loading after all the mech packs, career starter, pilot overhaul, ect, but before my art mods, vonXYZ mods (biomes, HUD, and Missions), infantry, and stack crates.

I am going to move it to the very bottom. Also going to do some other mod movement to see if I can resolve it.
