Hey there,

 

New player to the server and I ran into an issue that is likely a new player/low money issue, but I thought i'd let you guys know because it has had a negative impact as I start out and I am unable to find the answer I need to resolve it.  

 

I'm about 10 minutes into my 1st logon here as a new player and I came across an AI random crash with a crate.   It's there for the taking but I quickly realize I need a vehicle to take it, as manually moving a crate seems to be disabled.  No matter as I'm only 1k out from a trader.  I go to the trader, view my available list of vehicles for purchase to a new player like myself with 20K dollars. I make the decision to buy the SUV since its about 18k and has been a decent starter vehicle in arma since the beginning of time.  My other realistic options were the prowler or quilin.  These 3 vehicles look to the best I can afford as a new player.  Totally fine with me.   

 

Here's my problem, I get to the crate, and look thru the crate menu and it won't let me load it.   It says there's no room, but I have no crates in the SUV as I just bought it.  Looks like it says capacity is 0/0 so maybe I am unable to load crates into an SUV?   Which, logistically, there is enough room to load a small ammo crate the size of a large lunchox in a 4-door SUV!   

 

At this point I can only conclude that loading crates into a SUV is disabled, and if so OK.  BUT now i'm broke, i've got a vehicle I can't really use to make any money with, and I still do not know which vehicles I can load crates into!  You can see why this lack of information is paramount to my success in Exile as the main method for accumulating funds is thru crate procurement and sales, aside from the occasional successful mission vehicle capture and sale.  

 

Thanks,
