ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
As of SU4 (beta release-candidate version) the helicopter hook missions still give unrealistic and (nearly?) impossible dropoff locations 50% of the time.
Of course it’s supposed to be a challenge, but the current state is absolutely unrealistic.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
30-50% of the heli cargo hook missions
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

fly heli cargo hook missions
-
fly to the dropoff zone
-
notice that it’s a terrible location that would never be chosen in real life

Today’s example (SU4 full release); low cargo integrity score ensured:
Next try… I’m done so with this… no more hook cargo missions until I see a patchnote 
ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
During sling load delivery missions using helicopters, the designated drop zones are placed in locations where cargo placement is practically impossible. The simulator assigns the delivery point on steep, sloped mountainsides that are densely covered with trees.
Trees obstruct the drop zone, making it impossible to position the load safely or accurately.
In summary, the current placement logic for sling load delivery zones results in unreachable or unusable drop points, preventing the player from completing the mission despite correct flight and cargo-handling procedures.
