Description from the Workshop

Skyhook – Advanced Slingload System brings a proof of concept helicopter slingloading to Arma Reforger. Perfect for logistics pilots, mission makers, and milsim groups looking for realistic cargo transport and airlift mechanics. Author: Soul_Assassin Dependencies: none Find detailed documentation and usage instructions here: https://docs.rhsmods.org/skyhook/ NOTE: This mod is not affiliated in any way with RHS Team and is independently produced by the author. Key Features: - Attachable Slingload Cargo: Vehicles (light cars), supply crates (including Arsenal boxes), and more. - Manual Attachment/Detachment: Use your controls to pick up and release loads dynamically in flight. - UI: Hud indicators easing operations from first person. - (Quasi) Realistic Physics: Smooth cargo movement, ground interaction, collision detection, and crash handling. - Visual Rope: A simple rope with attachment points. - Arsenal Crate Integration: Automatically swaps visuals for transport-safe mode and resets when grounded. - Ground-Snapping Logic: Automatically levels and aligns crates/objects with terrain upon release. - Collision Safety: Cargo can be damaged or destroyed on hard impacts. Detaches when hitting objects in flight. - Engine & Altitude Safety: Slingload is only available with engines running and safe lift height. - Sort-of Works in Multiplayer: most things work, but can be janky and unpredictable sometimes. Liftable Objects: - Light cars - Arsenal boxes - Mi-8 can lift heavier HMMWV cars, while UH-1H is limited to up to 1500 kg Usage: 1. Get into the pilot seat of a MI-8 or UH-1H and start flying. 2. Use the autohover feature to steady over the liftable object. Chopper must be over 3 meters off the ground and within 10m radius of the object. 3. Watch the UI indicator turn blue to indicate that a liftable object is within range. 4. Press HOME or DPad Left to attach the rope. The UI indicator should turn green if successful. 5. Transport the object to new loca...
