Hello.
OK so I'm starting to play Orbiter again after some time. And I'm trying to figure out how I'm supposed to load cargo to the XRs. I sort of remember having a XR2\DG\whatever loaded with cargo but I can't figure out how to. I have looked in Orbiter manual, XR operations manual, and (tried to) find anything in UMMU\UCGO. Can anyone help me or point me somewhere?

EDIT: I've just discovered it applies to everything I'm flying. Sorry for sounding like a total idiot.

The XR fleet has it's own methodology for loading the cargo containers that are native to that particular series of ships. Most everything else uses attachment points (or universal cargo deck)

Here's some food for thought

just check out the stock cargo units for the XR2, the Crew hab, the LOX tank, the fuel tanks, and see in the config the lines that turn it into XR cargo, because there is a specific set of information that is required for it to work. You can then apply it to anything really, just add those lines to something's config file and you will find it loadable into the XR-2s very limited cargo bay

This is detailed in the section titled Payload Management (XR2/XR5 Only) starting on page 61 of the XR Flight Operations Manual, which is installed to the $ORBITER_HOME\Doc folder.
 
Also, for UCGO operations with XR vessels, check out [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4571"]XR2 UCGO Cargo Platform v2.2[/ame] and [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4572"]XR5 UCGO Cargo Platform v2.0[/ame], made by Woo482.
