"Attach Slingload" & "Detach Slingload"

[hon0]

Here is a little mission(Right clic save as) I made on South Asia. The aim was to learn using the new TOH command for SlingLoad and by the way have a great little training.



Now with the Blake's Sling Loading I guess we could do it better and better !

Edit : Don't forget to instal this mod to be able to see your load

Oh and try to add " this animate ["BenchL_Up", 1] " in your init line it's cool for this kind of mission with a Bench equiped chopper.

Nice, thanks hon0.

Well, after two hours of trying I had to give up - I just could not pick up that first crate! The ground effect just kills me. You are so smooth in that video, I just cannot get anywhere near as much control as that!

I am in the same boat. I can't seem to get the same smooth level of control. I am constantly fighting the controller, with a lot of forward left stick, then it goes into rocking left and right. I downloaded the nightstalker* mod for expert flying. But I still getting the over controlling instability.

I can do this mission in Trainee mode (no hover mode). I can do this in expert mode, but I need hover mode to pick up and set down the crates. But I still do not get the control you have. I have watched this video several times and your model doesn't seem to have any of issues I am having, in fact it seems to fly like a real helicopter. Getting frustrated, I have 200+ hours flying real choppers from Robinsons to Jet Ranger. None of them are a difficult as this.

Any advice before I decide to un-install this game and throw it in the back of the wardrobe would be helpful. Many Thanks.

Hello !

Well I guess you don't need any advice on how to pilot a helicopter.
So your problem must come from the joystick/setting..

Here is an other topic where we discuss about joysticks settings.

Please try to reset to all your curve ;

On the software/driver AND on the game

I'm flying with the Community Update n°3 with these setting for controller.

Code:

</FCSComponent>

<FCSComponent type="FCSRotationDamper">
<YawController P="0.2" D="0"/>
<PitchController P="0.2" D="0"/>
<RollController P="0.2" D="0.00"/>
</FCSComponent>

If I understood well it "kill" the autotrim,.. that I don't use but give a faster response to the input

In game, all my curve a set to default except throttle's one witch have 0% deadzone.

Let me know how it goes now.

Ground effect kill you even after the patch?

What is your setup Jedra?


The box video was done with the default fly model. In Expert. I was learning to use my pedal.

i can't get this mission to work...anyone want to help an editing newb out?

[hon0]

What is your problem? You have to put the .sqm file here :

C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Take On Helicopters\missions\SlingLoadTraining\Here

To play the mission you have to open it in the editor.

Choose editor, Map South Asia, Look for "open file or project.." option and the name will be the one of the folder where you put the .sqm file. "SlingLoadTraining" for exemple. Then just preview and enjoy !

wowzer..thems' some skills!! I can't even maintain a hover as a trainee yet.. /

[zentaos]

I put it in a folder in my missions but I don't think I named the folder properly. I will try again tonight. Thanks!

Also...how do you keep the waypoint icons on in expert?

[hon0]

I often press the journal key, which is by default "J". Tell me if you have any other problem I'll answer in the hour.

[zentaos]

I tried

"C:\users\xxx\documents\takeonhelicopters\missions \slingloadtraining\here"

and

"C:\users\xxx\documents\takeonhelicoptersotherprof iles\xxx\missions\slingloadtraining\here"

still no go.

I open the editor on Southeast Asia and the mission is not there...
