Allow hovercraft to be transportable by air transports

Apologies if this is a well-known issue, or if there is already a thread existing (I couldn't spot anything in my cursory search).
But basically it'd be good to have what the topic says. In IW many vehicles are 'repulsorlifts' (hovercraft), and they can't be airlifted by our air transports. This seems like a left-over category issue from way back to TA days, and it'd be great if it could be fixed!

modrules -> transportability -> transportHover = true;

What he said. It's been in the engine quite awhile now, and worked last time I tested it.

The only thing that doesn't work good is transporting air units. At least when I was making that patch, it caused weird behaviours. Picking up hovers and even ships was fine.

Already set, thanks for playing
And yes, I've already tried messing with mass etc, even setting the transports to essentially limitless and they would not load hovercraft. The hovers do not have the cantbetransported tag.

That's funny because I do recall loading Doms (hover mechs) on Dodai2s (air transports).

Hmm, maybe it's a regression (it surely worked about half a year ago)? I'll test hover loading when I'll get home.
Edit: tested with my mod (since I don't have yours :) ) and Spring 0.78.2.1 (ie current release), and it works as it should. Ie units with HOVER movetype can be picked (and dropped) by air transports. I use modrules.tdf, which has this:
Code: Select all
[TRANSPORTABILITY]
{
transportGround=1;
transportHover=1;
transportShip=1;
transportAir=0;
}
Maybe it's modrules.lua that somehow borks transportability?
