need track replay Hoisting doesn't lift cargo

[Viper ZA]

I followed the guide to what must be turn on or to what setting. I load a vehicle like a Stryker. Then I add Cargo for the red smoke. 

Then begins the struggle of hovering over the crate which is a bitch. When I finally hook up the cable just extends and the crate never lifts of the ground.

What am I doing wrong. When I first did it the other day it worked every time and I haven't changed any settings and I get this now every time.

Stryker exceeds what a CH-47 can lift by a factor of 2.  It's twice what you can lift weight wise, about 18,000 pounds as a rule of thumb at sea level - full fuel.  Stryker weighs ~36,000 lbs.

 

Also hoisting is different than sling loading.  The hoist is used to pull cargo up the ramp or lift a survivor through the cargo hole in the floor.  In hoist mode you're limited to 600 lbs.  So hoisting and sling loading are two different things.

I don't know if it's the same thing, but once I connect to the crate. I can fly 30 miles and crate is still on the ground and I have 30 miles of cable out.

This is exactly what is happening to me. I just tested it by dropping my fuel to 30% and trying to pick up something that weighs 70kg and it still did this.

Obviously you need a shorter cable

I followed the guide and i "hook" a crate, but then it immediately "un-hooks".  I can't lift the dang crates.
