I am making a mission where C-47's drop the paratroopers and I want them to fly straight until all the troopers jump out of the plane. But the C-47's make a sharp turn while the troopers are still jumping out. How to make them keep it steady until all the troopers are out? 

Increasing the radius of AttackArea doesn't seem to help. 

This is a simple test mission with three C-47's in formation, the drop zone is marked by the green smoke. 

Will appreciate any help!

I don't remember that happening in the paratrooper missions I have done. I will look back and see if I can pull out a group to compare with your flight path.

I have uploaded a test mission for you. If you use a complex trigger with "On Object Paratrooper Jumped" instead of Bingo Cargo, you can activate the next waypoint straight ahead as soon as they start jumping instead of waiting for the plane to be empty. They will always circle if you wait until they are empty to deactivate the drop zone. I did not include a "Force Complete - High" so they will continue to drop paratroopers.

Check the logic in my test mission. I included an altered version of your mission to do the same thing with "Bingo Cargo" and you can see they still circle.

Also take a look at the bingo cargo logic I attached to your C47 formation. You do not need all those counters, but you should include a -1 value "On critical damage" MCU to account for damaged planes that might not make the drop, which would result in not triggering your end attack, and the C-47s circling endlessly over the drop zone. It is always a good idea to reduce the number of MCU links as much as possible to streamline the process and reduce the chance for errors.
