First make sure MIST is loaded, either as an Initialization Script for the mission or the first DO SCRIPT with a "TIME MORE" of 1. "TIME MORE" means run the actions after X seconds into the mission.
Load the CTLD a few seconds after MIST using a second trigger with a "TIME MORE" and a DO SCRIPT of CTLD.lua.
You will also need to load in the beacon.ogg sound file for Radio beacon homing. This can be done by adding a second action of Sound To Country. Pick an unused country, like Australia so no one actually hears the audio when joining at the start of the mission. If you don't add the Audio file, radio beacons will not work. Make sure not to rename the file as well.
An error will be shown if MIST isn't loaded first.
An example is shown below:

To change what units can be dropped from crates modify the spawnable crates section. An extra parameter, ```cratesRequired = NUMBER``` can be added so you need more than one crate to build a unit. This parameter cannot be used for the HAWK system as that is already broken into 3 crates. You can also specify the coalition side so RED and BLUE have different crates to drop. If the parameter is missing the crate will appear for both sides.

Once built, FOBs can be located using the F10 CTLD Commands menu -> List FOBS.
You will get a position as well as an FM frequency that the Huey can use to find the FOB.
How to use the FM Homing:
1. List FOB Locations and note down frequency
2. Set your FM Radio to Home (Far right setting)
3. Program in the FM Frequency
4. Use the instrument highlighted to turn towards the beacon. The vertical needle will swing left and right and so can be used to get a bearing on the FOB
