+-- The script works on the EVENTS.Shot trigger, which is used by the mod when you **drop cargo from the Hercules while flying**. Unloading on the ground does
+-- not achieve anything here. If you just want to unload on the ground, use the normal Moose CTLD (see 5.1).
+-- 
+-- There are two ways of airdropping: 
+--   
+-- 1) Very low and very slow (>5m and <10m AGL) - here you can drop stuff which has "Skid" at the end of the cargo name (loaded via F8 Ground Crew menu)   
+-- 2) Higher up and slow (>100m AGL) - here you can drop paratroopers and cargo which has "Air" at the end of the cargo name (loaded via F8 Ground Crew menu)
