Going off memory here...

Just need to add the Hoist/Sling notations to the particular helicopter aircraft.cfg file.
But you have to know where the particular points are, and enter them in "position =".
If I remember its like editing lights. so x-axis, y-axis, z-axis for the 3 numbers.

This is from the Acceleration EH101 below as an example:
(Sling.0 is Hoist, Sling.1 is the cable line)



[Sling.0]
hoist_extend_rate = 5 //Feet per second
hoist_retract_rate = -5 //Feet per second
position = -34.7, 6.7, 7.0 //Feet from datum
max_stretch = 2.0 //Max stretch distance at ultimate load
damping_ratio = 0.50 //0 for no damping to 1.0 for critically damped.
rated_load = 600 //Characteristics tension of cable in pounds
ultimate_load = 2250 //Breaking force in pounds
tolerance_angle=45 //Angle, in degrees, used to determine lateral breaking force limit
auto_pickup_range = 8 //Max Range, in feet, for auto-pickup
auto_pickup_max_speed = 5.5 //Maximum speed (feet per second) for auto-pickup
hoist_payload_station = 4 //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.

[Sling.1]
position = -30.5, 0.0, 0.0 //Feet from datum
max_stretch = 2.0 //Max stretch distance at ultimate load
damping_ratio = 0.50 //0 for no damping to 1.0 for critically damped.
rated_load = 10000 //Characteristics tension of cable in pounds
ultimate_load = 25000 //Breaking force in pounds
tolerance_angle=70 //Angle, in degrees, used to determine lateral breaking force limit
auto_pickup_range = 10 //Max Range, in feet, for auto-pickup
auto_pickup_max_speed = 5.0 //Maximum speed (feet per second) for auto-pickup Cable length is determined by either the mission definition, or a notation in a saved flight (.flt) file:


[Sling.0.0]
Object=
CableLength=xxx
HoistSwitch=0

thanks for your help Dain Arns , ive tryed adding that and wheni did , the sea would not show up in the sim :L

You must save a flight. Then go into the file location where it's saved. My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files and find the file named "WHATEVER YOU NAMED YOUR FLIGHT.flt" Open it in Notepad. Scroll down to the bottom and add:


[Sling.0.0]
Object=
CableLength=xxx
HoistSwitch=0

In "CableLength=xxx" replace the xxx with however many feet you want the cable to be. "HoistSwitch=0" tells whether or not the flight starts with the hoist enabled. (I think) To enable you would use the key combination you use in missions. ("O" key)
