SimFreak Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Through radio menu - request 1T kg load. Fly towards red smoke and hover directly over it. Enjoy. Make sure to map sling load commands - as required.slingload.miz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearlessfrog Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Well, that was probably the hardest thing I think I've ever done in a flight sim :) Thanks for the mission. Any tips? ~~~ http://www.mudspike.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suchacz Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Well, that was probably the hardest thing I think I've ever done in a flight sim :) Thanks for the mission. Any tips? BIG +1 :D IMHO Im not bad heli pilot, but it took approx ten minutes of hovering around to hook up my first load, air refueling is a piece of cake, a childs play compared to this :music_whistling: ;) Per aspera ad astra!

nickexists Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 If you're like me and can't hover, you can always just land next to the cargo and hook from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurgon Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Wow, this totally rocks! Can't believe how hard it is to fly the Huey with a sling load. I guess it'll take a good long while until we can deliver x-mas trees like that guy from the video. For starters: 5000 lbs is definitely too heavy. I just couldn't get into ETL, and there was absolutely no way to hover this load into the air. Delivering 500, 1000 and 2000 lbs. I broke the 1000 lbs package, but 2 out of 3 on the second attempt at sling loading doesn't seem too bad: Having a blast so far. Great work, ED + BST! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doright Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Wow, those armed guards really get mad when you drop their cargo shipment of Playstation 4s, Xbox 1s, and Nintendo 64s. Thanks for mission that is fun. Sometimes it's like a giant hand is trying to rock me to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagrum Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Great! Thank you! A question, though: why must a static cargo explicitely marked as cargo in the ME? ... will there be more "potential cargos" available? Perhaps even every object (within weight constrains) could be choosen to be "cargoable" one day? :o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimFreak Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 One tip that helps me sometimes. Force Trim - Off. Other than that - practice - practice and practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dahui Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 absolutely AWSOME!!! :D one bug i seen: After you attach the Cargo, the helicopter has the weight already on the hook, so you have to pull the collective pretty hard. But the Line is still lose and the Cargo on the ground... Is it possible to change the Ropelenght? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winfield_Gold Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Bloody awesome, hopefully down the track this will be implemented on AI aircraft such as the UH-60 and CH-47, Would be good to have large helo's sling load arty guns, hummers and the like :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 One hour of trying to hook that bloody cargo thingy....no luck. I'm sure they tweaked the FM a bit, I never had so much trouble hovering in the Huey. Might be my imagination as well...:chair: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrim Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thing is that now we have to hover over a much smaller area, whilst looking at the cargo cam, and monitor visual cues on the instrument panel as well as the outside (which is partly obscured by the cargo cam) to hover correctly. I.e. a bit of a sensory overload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeroperoDokkiri Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I just did 2h flying practicing cargo ops. Great fun! Thanks Belsimtek! [sIGPIC]http://i55.tinypic.com/21oydlx.jpg[/sIGPIC] ヒューイ最高!o(≧∇≦o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horus0129 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 This is awesome. Thanks for the mission! Now I'm wondering how to adjust the cargo cam position like MFCD of A-10C. It would be great that the cam is displayed in my sub monitor behind cougar MFD. Does anyone know how to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG-Vampire Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) Make sure to map sling load commands - as required. will this possible for the Mi-8 as well ? (in the future, in next patch ?) Edited April 5, 2014 by NRG-Vampire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You followed the instructions in the manual (http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2035161&postcount=5)? I haven't tried to hook up the cargo by hovering over it, yet, so I can't comment on the cargo cam. But what I have read here so far is, that the parameters for this are quite restrictive. But landing close (really close) to the cargo and hooking it (CTRL+L?) worked for me, though. But all without sound - and I think, that it is supposed to not have a sound effect (what sound does a hook make? *click*?)
