[MISSING TRACK FILE] Hook get trapped

[STe79ITA]

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing this thing, and i don't know why.

 

Once i trapped a cable, the hook remain in the up position, regardless of the hook lever pulled down so i cant get free from the cable.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks

As you land you go full throttle, after you have stopped by a cable, bring the throttle to idle. You will be then pulled back a little by the cable retracting.

 

Once you get pulled back, then put the hook into the up position. You can then drive away.

 

Important not to use the brakes after landing, until the cable pulls you back a bit.

What David_OC said. Also verify that your toebrakes are not working backwards. Bring up the controls overlay RCTRL+ENTER and look for any unwanted input.

i had the same issues. today, after that long time i figured out that my toe brakes were not at 0 without pressing. ctrl+enter finally showed it to me.

 

was playing around with axis curves in dcs and all is fine now. landed 4 times in a row on the carrier without any getting the hook trapped

This only happens if you brake after landing - so make sure your brakes are off.

Not sure this is a bug actually. I have had this happen once, and it was when I moved forward against the cable, thus trapping it on the hook as would actually happen in real life. Otherwise just wait, as cable pulls you back a bit, hook up.

i still think it is not a bug but a miscalibration of the brake-axis ; so it was at least on my side
