-- AIRPLANE: Realistic Weight-Realistic Problems
--
-- When cargo is loaded into an aircraft, the weight of the carrier
-- is increased via the trigger.action.setUnitInternalCargo() function.
--
-- This can lead to "problems" as it affects the flight characteristings.
--
-- To demonstrate this effect, we add 100 tons of cargo to a C-130 and
-- let it take off.
--
-- With the additional weight, the takeoff length increases significantly.
-- The runway at Kobuleti is too short and the aircraft will crash at the
-- end of the runway.
--
-- For comparison, a second C-130 without additional cargo takes off with
-- no problems.
---
-- C-130 without cargo.
