SimFreak Posted April 4, 2014 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
fearlessfrog Posted April 4, 2014 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
Suchacz Posted April 4, 2014 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 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.

Yurgon Posted April 5, 2014 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:
doright Posted April 5, 2014 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.
Flagrum Posted April 5, 2014 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)
SimFreak Posted April 5, 2014 Author Posted April 5, 2014 One tip that helps me sometimes. Force Trim - Off. Other than that - practice - practice and practice.
ckek Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Guys, here manual for sling load! (As part of PERFORM SPECIAL TASKS). Sorry for not very good english:) thank you!!:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
dahui Posted April 5, 2014 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?
Winfield_Gold Posted April 5, 2014 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 :)
Midnight Posted April 5, 2014 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:
Scrim Posted April 5, 2014 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.
PeroperoDokkiri Posted April 5, 2014 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)
VIMANAMAN Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Yeah as per Samek's post - awesome job Belsimtek!
horus0129 Posted April 5, 2014 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?
NRG-Vampire Posted April 5, 2014 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
diveplane Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 some reason my build wont run sling loads? camera system does not function or picking loads up? https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
Flagrum Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 some reason my build wont run sling loads? camera system does not function or picking loads up? that problem description is a bit vague? :o)
diveplane Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) that problem description is a bit vague? :o) tried a reinstall ,nothing my end for sling loads, no clue whats going on here. sling load camera does not work for me, or does the hook unhook key commands. do u get a sound effect of loads being hooked up?

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*?) Edited April 6, 2014 by Flagrum
diveplane Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 ok thx managed to get cargo working didn't know u had to call up radio comms first. however I still cant get cargo camera going. https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
Lib Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 however I still cant get cargo camera going. Same here, no cargo camera working :(
