That scaling error is exactly what Gabriel mentioned initially in this thread.
You can scale meshes (that's actually what most franken mods do), however when the mesh has a shadow, the shadow will not work anymore and the error as shown here will be thrown.
We do have a "mesh sizer" available in the superschool where you can easily adjust a meshes' size without having to scale it from hier.him.
That way we could get working parachutes with shadows easily.

So youre point is that I'll have to wait on a patch? That's no problem at all. Love the mod now because it was easier to install with the torrents and stuff. Just wanted to have some things clear!

I think Gabriel provided a working patch for the issue in the OP already.
The only thing left to improve would be to update the patch so that parachutes have shadows again.
I tried to point out an easy way to create such an updated patch, that's all.

And how do I apply this patch? I searched for a 3do map, but couldnt find it in my install directory

You install it like any other mod.
Take Epervier's 7zip file, extract it and put the folder "01__Parachute_noShadows" into your mods folder, whatever name it has, be it "#DOF", "#TGA", "#WAW", "#JTW" or just "#SAS".

If I understood everything ...
Yes we can redo 3 parachutes in 3 different sizes.
But in this case must redo all Java codes of all Class who use Class Chute (com\maddox\il2\objects\air).
This includes all the weapons (parabomb, Cargobox, etc ...)!     
Or/and create 2 new Class... Chute1 and Chute2 ...?!

Yes indeed Gabriel, since the scaling takes place in Java Code, the proposed fix would imply a change to both 3D meshes and Java Code.
