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

[Bothersome]

I just saw your video...

How the hell did you accelerate without dipping your nose down?

You got some kind of magic thrusters mounted on your heli or what?

Wind in back + fail ground effect.. Try to fly over container. It's ok then move over a little hole.. you'll fall.. Big bug I think. I'm not pro

I'm having serious problems even with first container. Mainly my problem is if i need a controller, most possibly a joystick with a separate controller for the collective?

Currently i've been playing it with mouse and keyboard and it seems rather futile, the speed at wich i can raise and lower collective makes even the most agile helicoper feel like im flying a oil-tanker

[Bothersome]

Ewe, I feel for ya.

It's tough enough flying with a joystick with twist action for rudder.

You can map controls for multiple sticks or controllers in this game.

Same problem here. As soon as the container connects the adjacent container jumps up in the air and the mission instantly ends. I've done this at least 15 times from different angles and altitudes with the same result. Too bad you can't just take a financial hit and continue on. Looking forward to a patch.

Yeah this game has more bugs than my next door's cat. I had the same problem, so I gave up and started the task from start this seem to do the trick, as the second time the lifts went without a problem.

When doing tasks like this try auto hover and external view makes it easier.

And omg this must be the shortest game in history??

[tolgab]

The containers jump suddenly in the air as soon as I hook up during a solid still hover?!!?! I also do not understand the need for such precision, you seem to need to be way too close to the container for the hooking to begin.

Either case I presume a quick fix would be simply removing the container next to it, is that so hard to do?

[shoche]

Same problem here

[DrBezu]

Yep, stuck as well. Its nice to know its possible, after 10 attempts of what I would consider an absolutely perfect pick up, I thought it must be a bug. I think it should be patched, if there is some special non-obvious technique then there should be some special instructions so that it doesn't just feel like a bug.

I don't know what you are doing wrong. It's pretty hard but definately doable.
Just make sure you slowly add collective. Also you should move AWAY from the other container.
