Divisions are in airfield zone, planes in airfield, orders are assigned, orders are in execution
Why aren't they dropping?

What's your air superiority at? How many transports do you have versus how many divisions?

I have 6 transport planes right now, and four divisions of 3 brigades each, I tried doing two orders of two divisions, and then one of one. My air superiority is either null, because neither of us have any airplanes (C. China v Afghanistan) or, if I tell the transport planes to be active in that region, 100%. But I don't know if telling them to do is neccessary, or prohibitive to actually making the drop.
You are supposed to have 70% air superiority in each air zone on the path to your paradrop. I have seen several people say that restarting the game fixes some stalled paradrops. I am beginning to wonder if restarting the game fools the game into thinking air superiority is sufficient, since on start up, supply and air superiority does not appear to be calculated yet.

It kept working for some time afterward, made all four divisions drop over a day or so, all but the first on orders I created on the spot.

One other thing - the transport planes can't be on a mission (air supply) they have to be idle in the airbase with no orders.

And - IIRC, you can’t paradrop from an allies’ airbase if they are not engaged in the war you’re in.
