(solved for the OP) "The hand that feeds" Stuck

[tron]

Ok, I finally got this. But only by accident. I had switched my anti-virus software and then gave it a try again. It worked. I know some games do run better with it off, I just never thought of it before. But, now Im unsure if it's because of that or a fluke. I might try it a couple more times to be sure.

It seems like the real 'weight' indeed is lifted up into the top container, but if done slightly off gets damaged. It was very surprising when it worked! Thanks for the time! I didn't make it to the 3rd container before my engine trouble. Is there a 3rd container to be done? If so, do I need to do the first 2 containers faster?

Thanks for the help, and I do notice now that on auto-hover, the chopper definately has decreased lift. Good to know.

Good to hear it worked at least once so far Perhaps the real-time virus scanner caused the rope simulation to slow down just enough so that it became imprecise. This gives us a theory to work on improvements.

You cannot ever get the third container; the engine trouble and following auto-rotation are part of the scenario

I'm running Steam version 1.05.90506. I've tried 50+ times to get the 2nd container in all different varieties and none of these tricks are working. The only thing I've noticed is that the container at hand seems to be slightly buried in the containers it's resting on. Then when the rope attaches, it suddenly becomes un-buried and jerks up to be sitting normally on the containers. Could that be what's causing it to become damaged every time? See pics....

This is awfully frustrating...

I still got the same problem with 2nd container in patch 1.06. After more than a year and so many patches still not fixed, what does the TOH developers do? I want my money back!!!

Okay, i managed to do it! what i did was I started the whole mission from the heliport, then when i got to the 2nd container part, i put the direction of the helicopter away from the jumping container, with the tail above it. Plus i was extremly low this time, as soon as it was attatched, the container only moved a little, but not enough to damgaed it. Finally! i can get on with this wonderful game!

I tred what you recommended with no improvement. As soon as the lift % reaches 100 it fails. Please advise/.
