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, SADO CV-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.
