@Chinook

In a vehicle Init field:
[this, 10000] remoteExec ["setMass", 0];

This will set the vehicle's mass to 10000 kg.

Enjoy! :)

That is a config value and can't be set like that. If there is a cargo you want to make liftable you can use setMass command to decrease its mass.

@Ampersand, Thank you for developing this mod and i appreciate your time. While i know what i am asking is additional work load & unrealistic but settings in server addon with a configurable slider or a value to change the slingLoadMaxCargoMass = 13000; So we can control what types of vehicles we can sling.

Yes. Most demo videos are done with AI pilot and disableAI "PATH"

Does this work with AI pilots ?

Enjoy!

Thank you really much for the OPTRE update

It's not working properly for me, It's probably a bug on my end
Ampersand  [author] 20 Feb @ 3:13pm 
The bottom of the hulls barely big enough lol. Sure thing.
Sablus Maximus Decimus 20 Feb @ 12:25pm 
I was thinking about the triple setup for the UH-144 Falcon or maybe the Pelican
Ampersand  [author] 19 Feb @ 3:18pm 
@Adequate Velocity I've previously investigated that and it's quite hard to do.
@Sablus Maximus Decimus any particular ones? Are you talking about just a single hook or a triple setup?
Sablus Maximus Decimus 19 Feb @ 2:17pm 
@ampersand will it be possible to add support to OPTRE vehicle ?
Adequate Velocity 18 Feb @ 8:22pm 
Feature request
A feature I have missed at a good number of point is the ability to hang an empty rope from the helicopter that you could then attach to the object you are trying to lift. this would allow you to lift objects from tighter places where you would not be able to get a helicopter into.
Ampersand  [author] 17 Feb @ 6:57am 
@TheDesertFox will add, thanks
@Mumus that's hilarious and no. try attaching it to a box that can be.
Mumus 17 Feb @ 2:29am 
Can i lift container buildings, like Military Cargo House (Medical) - Land_Medevac_house_V1_F?
TheDesertFox 15 Feb @ 7:17pm 
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
Sablus Maximus Decimus 11 Feb @ 11:01am 
Would it be hard to add other compatible helicopter ?
retroka08 5 Dec, 2024 @ 10:36am 
how can increase maximum slingload weight?
HBAOplus 1 Dec, 2024 @ 6:18am 
Mumus 1 Dec, 2024 @ 1:25am 
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?
Coremanite 5 Nov, 2024 @ 3:29pm 
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.
Ampersand  [author] 5 Nov, 2024 @ 2:14pm 
Which big helicopters does it have?
Coremanite 19 Oct, 2024 @ 3:14am 
Norek 21 Jul, 2024 @ 3:27pm 
Great mod there!

Is there any chance you could look into the armed variant of the Blackfish that seems to not be working (no action can be found to hook the cargo)?
Sauce 15 Jan, 2024 @ 11:49am 
Do you know any mods that add this feature for zeus?
Ampersand  [author] 15 Jan, 2024 @ 7:07am 
No, you need to be controlling a unit to use this mod. That would be a good addition for Zeus though.
Sauce 14 Jan, 2024 @ 8:55pm 
Does this add an easy option to sling load while in zeus?
Ampersand  [author] 9 Nov, 2023 @ 3:21pm 
I didn't know such a module existed lol (meaning editor module). If you have the mod Advanced Sling Loading, that is also separate and not required.
DynCoder 9 Nov, 2023 @ 2:04pm 
Hi there, the higher up people in my arma unit are trying to convince me the vanilla arma slingload module they have in the mission preset is required for this mod to work. Could you either confirm or deny this (the higher ups are very adamant on things sometimes). Cheers
TerrorMango 13 Jul, 2023 @ 4:05am 
First of all, great mod, really increases the possibilities of sling-loading!

Recently flying various eastern block helis, I noticed that the Global Mob. Mi-2 cargo point is somewhere inside the cabin, leading to the rear rotor blowing up when turning the engine on with cargo rigged and hooked up.
Would you be able to fix that?
I noticed that the CSLA Mi-8 and Mi-24 are already compatible despite not being listed, so that's cool :)

Thanks!
Ampersand  [author] 9 Jun, 2023 @ 12:38pm 
Yeah, just setMass or attachTo.
Overlord Zorn 9 Jun, 2023 @ 10:33am 
That sounds like desaster waiting to happen :D
Killimanjaro117 8 Jun, 2023 @ 7:35pm 
Apologies, I went through your comments after my last and saw your response in 2020 to a similar question. So with it comes another question, what about having two Chinooks lift one tank?
Killimanjaro117 8 Jun, 2023 @ 7:31pm 
Question, with this, could you lift a tank with the bigger choppers?
Ampersand  [author] 8 Jun, 2023 @ 9:20am 
Updated =) Enjoy!
sam r 7 Jun, 2023 @ 5:19pm 
+1 on the TF373 MH-47G
Helicrazy14 3 Jun, 2023 @ 7:06am 
Hey I was testing the TF373 MH-47G that is out and noticed sling load rigging does not work with it by default, which is to be expected. If you could add compatibility for that it would be great, it has 3d model for a front and rear hook, so maybe the default center one plus those two front and rear points. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2939110964

tree_sprite89 14 Apr, 2023 @ 7:20pm 
@Ampersand ur very beautiful u know that
Ampersand  [author] 13 Apr, 2023 @ 8:25pm 
@tree_sprite89 very interesting idea xD updated.
@Jamio @helicrazy14 Thanks and enjoy!
tree_sprite89 13 Apr, 2023 @ 4:26pm 
Could we give the AL-6 drone the ability to sling load things?
Jamio 23 Mar, 2023 @ 6:51am 
This feels like something that should be in ACE by default, it's a great mod and has worked flawlessly so far.

Nice to see it being updated as well - cheers for your hard work!
Helicrazy14 13 Mar, 2023 @ 7:54pm 
Thank you very much. Will be very useful since my group is doing a full vietnam campaign, and we just discussed potentially doing airmobile artillery.
Ampersand  [author] 13 Mar, 2023 @ 7:10pm 
@Helicrazy14 Good shout. Just added them.
Helicrazy14 13 Mar, 2023 @ 9:20am 
Does this have multiple hook points for the unsung redux ch47 and ch53, maybe even the -46 as well? If not if that could be updated for those of us doing vietnam stuff. Thank you, I love this mod and almost refuse to do sling loading without it at this point
Overlord Zorn 25 Feb, 2023 @ 5:55am 
lit - thanks!
