Hi Folks
Many thanks for your replies.
Your information confirmed my understanding,
further backed up by active crew of the particular a/c type concerned.
I'll pass this on to the developer.
Just to reiterate,
the in-game implementation is currently -
fishing with a dangling 75' sling,
which automatically hooks a load
if the player correctly positioned the a/c
whilst flying <= 8kts.
Loads hooked could be upto 10,000 lbs
Seems a quick way to burn 6 million quid.

Thanks for the "Bag-Runner" & "DynaNav GPS" link,
that mechanism does look like a suitable representation
of whats been currently implemented.
Many thanks
