I must apologize , I found some faults in the VMM365 Blue Knights repaint. I got the Marines color wrong and the 00 numbers on the fuselage wrong. The colors are supposed to Blue not Black. Im making the changes now and will up load the new files this week .

Correct ....Hi Rob,
A minor point that I discovered flying over mountains. The Hoist Control window is not quite wide enough to show the full altitude AGL when above 9999 ft.
There is some slight cut-off of the last digit. Could this window be widened a little?

Correct ....
I dimensioned the gauge to display max. 9999 ft RA, but I forgot to blank the field when above.
Allthough flying at 9999+ Ft RADIO ALTITUDE with the hoist doors open, doesn't sound like proper flying you me .... LoL

No. The positioning and scaling is done within the gauge itself.Would simply increasing the lateral value of 'size_mm=190,190' and 'gauge00=rcb-gauges!HoistControl, 0,0,190,190' in [Window11] from '190' to, say, 195 make the window a little bit wider to make room for the extra digit? (This would be unnecessary if I could close the hoist doors.)
No. The positioning and scaling is done within the gauge itself.
But if you like (and learn a bit about XML), you can change it yourself ....
- Open the file Hoistcontrol.xml in folder \panel\rcb-gauges\, with Windows Notepad
- Find the two strings
FontSize="30"
and replace 30 with 24 or so.
- And save the file.
This reduces the fontsize of characters in both RA displays, so they will properly display 5 digits.
Cheers, Rob
I have another question, while I'm talking to you: I know it is not possible to save a 'Scenario' while a load is hanging - it drops the load. But if the load is loaded internally, can you save it and return to it later?
No, because it was "created" by AICarriers. It therefor won't exist in a saved plane. You'd have the re-create it as the saved flight loaded in, and place it manually into the plane. I believe, though, that I seem to recall something about saving flights, then editing them to add in sling loads. But I've never worked with them that way. I've always used AIC to create the loads. You might want to look around the forum a bit for sling loads and saved flights.
Hope this helps a little.

No rotor animation for me, can someone help?Everything else works, great aircraft, thanks Maryadi.
