Mission 3: Dropping Cargo


Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble with the cargo.

 

I can hook the cargo by hovering somewhat above it. Admittedly some of my hovers have been less than stellar but I get the message that I am hooked, so I just raise collective and head off into the wide blue yonder. However when it comes to landing the load I am completely unable to do so without damaging the goods. I fly in over the green smoke ad 100' or so and hold a hover as best I can (usually a lot better than my takeoff hover) and gently try to lower the heli till the cargo is deployed. I do my best to hover directly over the green smoke and have the sink rate at less than "5" on the dial, but no matter how gently I bring the cargo down I always get a message that the cargo has been damaged and I fail the mission. What am I doing wrong?

I select the autounhook then lower. That way the cargo is unhooked the moment it touches the ground. I had to do this part a few times because I crashed my helo later in the mission (a few times).
