1) Place down some troops on a map (ideally over 2kms away).
2) Put down a simulation manager module and set the distance to 1km.
3) put down a UAV and a uav soldier.
4) Take control of the UAV and overfly the area with the troops. You will notice that the simulation manager does not turn them back on.
5) Drive down with a car or teleport there with the splendid camera. You will see the troops spawn in like they should.
