Description
Custom load rigging and attaching of helicopter sling loads.

Requires ACE
GitHub[github.com]
BI Forums[forums.bohemia.net]

Features
  • Set lifting points for objects not configured for sling loading
  • Lift vehicle wrecks
  • Use Forward and Aft cargo hooks on large helicopters like Huron, Mohawk, and RHS and CUP Chinook and Super Stallion, Global Mobilization CH-53G, TFC RCAF CH-147F, Unsung Redux -46 -47 -53, Mi-6 Hook and more
  • Sling load with VTOLs: Blackfish, Xi'an, CUP MV-22, DEGA V-22, FVL V-85
  • Attach multiple cargo objects to a single cargo hook
  • Use multiple cargo hooks to secure a Dual-point load
  • Adjust length of cargo sling legs
  • Experience more reliable MP sling loading thanks to localizing cargo to helicopter

Please comment with other helis/vtols that need to be made compatible.

Basic Usage
Get a Cargo Sling item from the nearest helicopter or the Arsenal.
Go up to a cargo object and use the ACE actions under Rig for Sling Load to prepare the load.
Once the sling is rigged up, you will be holding the Apex Fitting (the part that goes in the cargo hook). If you drop it, you can pick it up again.
Holding the apex fitting, get it near a cargo hook, and use Attach Cargo to hook on.
In the helicopter, crew may use ACE action or CBA keybind to Release Cargo.

Advanced Usage
After the cargo is rigged up to either a cargo sling or a helicopter, use Adjust Rigging to adjust the length of the sling legs, either all together (simply scroll), or singly (look at lift point and scroll).

If you hold the Apex Fitting and try to move further from the cargo than the ropes allow, you will drop the Apex Fitting.

When hooking up a single cargo to multiple cargo hooks, the slings after the first one won't appear connected to the cargo! Don't worry, they will connect to the helicopter once you Attach Cargo.

Enable rigging on almost anything!
_cargo setVariable ["slr_slingload_isRiggingEnabled", true, true];

Script custom sling points on your cargo.
_cargo setVariable ["slr_slingload_liftPoints", [[x1,y1,z1], [x2,y2,z2]...], true];

Thanks to lost for the Rope End Loop model.

Am I understanding the later mod Workshop update to be able to synchronously apply( a), as your main description refers to it as (virtual )"cargo hook(/s)" to non-default vanilla/intended mod helicopters built-in?

Hello Would it be possible to add the Ch74A Chinook (cargo/army) from SOG Prairie?
Ampersand  [author] 11 Feb @ 12:16pm 
@Norek @HBAOplus added
@Coremanite Ah, they don't have vanilla sling points. I've added them for SLR.
@Mumus @retroka08 use setMass to reduce the cargo mass
@Sablus Maximus Decimus Not hard, feel free to suggest

Would it be hard to add other compatible helicopter ?

how can increase maximum slingload weight?
HBAOplus 1 Dec, 2024 @ 6:18am 
There are new V-22 variants made by 3CB Factions

RHS CH-53E can not fly with RHS M2A3. Is there any setting to setup weight limit?
Coremanite 6 Nov, 2024 @ 1:25pm 
having just spent ~10 minutes crawling around underneat the aircraft from the mod with a hook, i can definitively say there are zero hookup points for them.
Ampersand  [author] 6 Nov, 2024 @ 7:23am 
The center hook is supported by default. It's only additional fore and aft hooks that need custom implementation. I'm not aware that those models have additional cargo hooks?

the Mi-17w (and its variants)
mi-24 (and its variants)

apologies for posting twice, steam's servers were suffering the effects of an aneurysm apparently.

Which big helicopters does it have?
