Strictly speaking, Winplan violates the file format specs in doing that. For example, jettison-the-Winplan-way would have triggered a Yellow alert in PHost (except for very current versions) if it would have been done by VPA (or Winplan-shareware, for that matter).
VPA's cargo transfer ist pretty convoluted; I already tried to implement that functionality but did not succeed. I have vague plans to port the PCC cargo transfer routines (which also can do jettison-the-Winplan-way), but I would not bet on it.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I was upset to discover that winplan allows you to space items in your cargo (like fighters or torps) that vpa does not allow you to do. Why is that?
I was ready to say that someone was cheating when they did this to me (I was privateer) only to find it was possible via winplan.
