I can sucessfully using CTLD pickup and deploy objects.. .In my case a JTAC Humvee. Am i able to recover that vehicle once the task is complete? I have looked at a few videos, for troops it looks easy using advanced waypoint options, but seems like i'd need to add a pickup zone around where i've dropped the JTAC vehicle. Is there an easier or perhaps more dynamic way of doing this?

I've just edited my post as its not fully functional.. greenbox yes, the circle and height.. thats still somewhere off screen! In theory, once i've got it all sorted, it should be a case of uploading my .lua file and doing a replace of yours for it to show... Check back a bit later to see if i've cracked it or not!

So, finally getting somewhare with it. The problem i was having does seem to be related to the Cargo Indicator not showing due to where its being positioned when i hit the keybinding.. i.e its somewhere, just not on my screen. Found an old post with some creative google searches and found someone who had a similar issue with the controller indicator. So, using that logic, i applied it to the CH47.. In the file location. dcsworld\mods\aircraft\ch47\cockpit\scripts\cargoindicator - cargoindicator_page.lua There is a line that reads... base.init_pos ={aspect-box_width,1.0-box_height} I then opened dcsworld\mods\aircraft\UH-1\cockpit\scripts\controlsindicator - controlsindicator_page.lue Found the line that reads... base.init_pos = {0,(1 - 1.3*size)} Copied the whole of that line and pasted into the CH47 carogindicator_page.lua Actually found a much easier solution: Open file.... dcsworld\mods\aircraft\ch47\cockpit\scripts\cargoindicator - cargoindicator_page.lua Edit line that reads... local aspect = Lockon_Options.screen.aspect Change to local aspect = 1 Save restart DCS.. Fired up the instant action sling load operation mission and as soon as the cargo red smoke released, the green hover box was visible! It now shows the green box with the "All Cargo" option in the comms menu. But i use CTLD and have cargo spawn in front of me - then it still does not show up. Not the end yet.. Where as this moves the green box, the moving circle, red dot and the height bar are not in the green box, so a bit more playing around to get them into the green box Hopefully this might help others. For reference, this was the post that i found that got me on the right track - Last post from Slicker55

I've tried all sorts of bindings. Defaults via the keyboard, binding it to a button on different panels and joystick etc. Pretty sure its not a binding problem. When you say hook set. I thought the only hook available is the central hook at the moment, and only need to flip the switch on the overhead to reset after dropping cargo so you can re-hook. The default instant action mission starts you off hot, and i'm not making any changes to the hook operation.

Yes. I've tried in the default mission - Comms menu, All cargo, select the contianer, red smoke emits from container take off, hover close by and hit the keybind i have for the External Cargo Indicator.. Nothing appears. (just for info, no problem with the controller indicator.. that appears bottom left). All i get is the voice commands left/forward etc. And the same result if a load a mission that uses the CTLD menu. No green box.

I'm not flying VR, just standard.. I've re-mapped the keybind from the default but tried both. I dont think its the fact its not working, its just that i cant see it... and in relation to where its positioned on the screen when i press the key to display it.

Can anyone offer any assistance on how to get the green square showing "External Cargo Indicator". By default it never showed on my screen. I read a post where editing the dcsworld/mods/aircraft/ch47/cargoindicator/cargoindicator_page.lua changing one of the lines to a figure less than the current aspect ratio.. I tried it got it working once and then it disappeared again. if anyone has expereinced this or knows of a working solution then please help!

Cool addon. Great when learning the Kiowa. Helping me greatly in my journey to try and be able to fly it... Thank you I have noticed one thing.. Every few starts of DCS, it does not show. Only way i can get it back is deleting the config\KIO-WA\KIO-WAConfig.lua Any reason why its not always persistant?

As in the script files might not at this time take that into account, thus mine not working? I guess if thats the case and someone new has these issues, then at least reading this will give them a steer in the right direction and prevent hours of trying to get it to work.

Thanks, i've checked the column and expanded it out, but nothing there for the custom binds. I did a copy/paste of some of the custom binds in the community keybinds directly into the actual SA342 .lua and those immediatly showed up.. As said, the custom binds show for the UH-1. Bit strange nothing appears for the SA342. No big deal, all i really needed was the keybind to reset the Artifical Horizon. I'd still be interested to hear anything else that i could check to get this working.

I'm relatively new to DCS and only flying the Gazelle at the moment... What a great mod. Thanks for the time/effort to implement it

HI, I got this all installed last night and it appears to be working... I see custom fields in the Huey for example. However, when i select the Gazelle, I do not see any of the custom options listed. I was trying to use it to allow the keybinds for the Artifical Horizion button. I'll assume its working correctly as said above, i do see custom options. What would be the reason for the cutsom options not appearing in the Gazelle SA342 Pilot list?
