Unable To Load Cargo - 757 III Freighter

Friends,

Installed CS 757 III Base/Expansion/Freighter Expansion V 1.3xx (Downloaded V 1.4xx but have yet installed). All seems to work well, but...

I can't get the Cargo Loader to move the cargo containers into the cargo deck, perhaps because there is a safety net across the entrance to the cargo deck which I can't figure out how to move aside.

From the docs I know that:

1. To load cargo, use the Cargo Loader (CL on the Shift-2 shortcut menu). I have used the 737 CL without difficulty, but the 757 CL doesn't seem to have a control to move the cargo container into the cargo deck.
2. The safety net across the door of the main cargo door (port side forward) is animated.

I have not been able to figure out how to get the safety net animation to activate. I don't see any reference to the safety net on the Animations Control Panel.

So: how do I get the safety net animation to activate, and will this then allow me to load the cargo container?

Thank you

Eric Dziura

The net can't be the reason.
Pls see CARGO MANAGEMENT section of the manual.

OK its working now.

The Move ULD In switch does not appear unless the CL platform is at the correct height...which I experimented with previously...apparently didn't find the correct height.

Thanks

Although it's quite tricky, it can be done. Just move the lift up/down until the two arrows beside the ULD appear. The arrows mean you can move the ULD in/out of the cargo hold (see attached image).

Note. As you add more ULD's, the level of the cargo floor drops due to the extra weight, so each time can be  a different height.
