Multiple transports bug

Not shure if this is a new bug (didnt find anything regarding this)
Playing shore to shore I built a large amount of core airtransports, with the intent of transporting my army across to the other coast.
The transports did not accept any load-unload order I gave them (repeat -on, and all transports selected).
For it to work I had to issue the order to each transport individually, witch took way to much time to be effective.

wha, you selected every single transport and told them to load a single unit? I'd say tell them to laod from one area and drop on the enemy beach and set to repeat, then march units into that area quickly enmasse and watch them be ferried across automatically.

yeah i have that problem with mass orders sometimes as many as 20-30% of transporters sit on their asses

(with rpt on of course)

yeps same problem happens to me
repeat on, and the transports yust ignore the area load.
hm.... its related to te way load queue and "reservation" of cargos work.
somehow the trasports think those load are already scheduled to another transport and let them alone.
happened in .51 too.
if you force and load manually, then it will work.
i guess the "superjump" bug in the transports in no more. (when the transports elevate sky high and then slowly come back down..)

lol that bug sounds cool
this bug is annoying but like the 'cofee break bug' can be fixed by pressing s then reordering, bit of a hassle though
