April 16, 201016 yr Is there a trick to getting the Hoist to work ?I added to my aircraft.cfg the following section. I also have my animation tag of door1 as hoist_door=2 and that opens correctly (just like the EH101). BUT I don't see the cable extend (I'm viewing from the outside). I don't see it extend on the EH101 either, whether sitting on the ground or flying along. Is it required that I be in a hover to deploy ?I follow this sequence:Shift+E 2 (opens door at hoist)Ctrl+U (supposely turns Hoist on)J to descendK to retract[sling.0]hoist_extend_rate = 5 // Feet per secondhoist_retract_rate = -5 // Feet per secondposition = -5.6, -4.5, 1.5 // (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datummax_stretch = 2.0 // Max stretch distance at ultimate loaddamping_ratio = 0.6 // 0 for no damping to 1.0 for critically damped.rated_load = 200 // Characteristics tension of cable in poundsultimate_load = 300 // Breaking force in poundstolerance_angle=45 // Angle, in degrees, used to determine lateral breaking force limit auto_pickup_range = 12 // Max Range, in feet, for auto-pickupauto_pickup_max_speed = 25 // Maximum speed (feet per second) for auto-pickup hoist_payload_station = 2 // Payload station in which the hoist will load in and out of. 1 is first station.hoist_door=2 // Door associated with hoist. Must be open for use.// Ctrl + U to activate arm hoist,// J to drop cable// K to raise cable// O to attach/grab/drop object

April 17, 201016 yr Author Bingo - there were no key assignments. Now why didn't that get updated when the EH101 was loaded. Oh well.. much thanks.
