UH-1H 1.2.8 Sling loading help please

[jetstorm96]

Hi guys, I am running V 1.2.8 from steam and have come asking for assistance with the sling loading as there are no missions or tutorials available.

 

So I hit the forums for answers and found that you need in my understanding to use \ to initiate the radio menu and select an option for cargo before you go and pick it up.

 

I do not have a cargo option at all on my radio, I have tried placing cargo on a random airport, I tried the cargo camera and it did not turn on. ON ground or in the air and when I press Hook/Unhook nothing appears as a notification. Yet if I press Autohook it comes up saying auto and I cannot turn it off?

 

This may be hard to visualize but I am sure others may have my issue.

 

So can someone please, give me a detailed explanation on how to get this to work.

 

Thankyou very much

1 add a static object, Category 'cargos', type 'Cargo1'

2 activate 'can be cargo' in the Static object screen and choose a reasonable weight... 300kg for example.

3 fly near the Cargo, open comms, select all cargoes and hit according to Cargo#

Now you should get a smoke marker at the selected cargo and can activate cargo cam in the air.

Now land close(!!!) - as in a few meters - from the Cargo, and hook it (you'll see a linefrom your helicopter to the cargo).

Alternative, hover above the cargo for 5 sec.

5 take off carefully and if you activate auto unhook as soon as the cargo hits the ground it is released. You can unhook manually as well... even bomb drop cargo :D
