Status: offline 		I'm sure this thread exist somewhere, but I can't find it. I can not load ac onto Long Island. It's in San Diego harbor, disbanded, and empty. I've tried to load several different squadrons of less than 16 ac, carrier capable, Marine squadrons, either F4Fs or SBDs, to no avail. I've tried both tranfer to ship and loading as cargo. I've tried in port, docked, and at sea. I've tried cargo, transport and replenishment TFs. What am I missing?

I always park it somewhere and forget about it

Status: offline 		Try this:
create either a ReplTF or a AirTranspTF and put Long Island in that TF. Make sure the TF is docked.
Select an Air Group which is not restricted.
Select "Transfer to docked Ship" and select Long Island.
That should work.

So do I, but the OP had a problem to transfer that way.
He never said if the group to be transfered is restricted though (which would explain why the group did not transfer).

changing to air trasport did the trick. The units were not restricted. Thanks for your help.
