How to attach slingload?

[dresoccer4]

I'm doing the slingload training mission and following the instructions. However it doesn't say how to actually hook up the cargo? I'm hovering right over it but nothing is happening. 

UPDATE: figured it out, I had to get much lower and then it automatically connected. you must be lower than when you're used to in the Huey

Glad you sorted it out..  If you use the Radar Alt, around 25-40 seems a sweet spot.   Do you use the Cargo indicator?   Its really helpful.   It will show a green box witha red dot that moves relative to the cargo and the hook under the helicopter.. and also a vertical indicator to gauge your height above the cargo.

If you made the mission, you can adjust the rope length in the Mission Editor armament screen, it's over on the right where you do the fuel slider.
