tovivan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 What is actually possible to sling-load with DCS Mi-8? Arty? Light vehicles? AA vehicles? Flak emplacements? Or only some weird big bags/weights? And how to even make it work in a mission? I wanna transport a zsu emplacement, or maybe AA brdms, on mountains to create a kill zone for enemy fighters. Tnx!

Socket7 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 By default, you can move "cargo" items. In the stock game, cargo items are some boxes wrapped in a net with a weight value in the mission editor. There are some different models for cargo though in the mods section. You can then carry around a cargo item that looks like a AA gun, or a jeep, or a bambi bucket etc. There is also some scripting, CTTS I believe, that will allow you to sling load several cargo items to a location, and then spawn an actual AA gun or a couple other things. Practice makes perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciribob Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Here's the CTLD script that let's you sling load crates and unpack them. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=143107 You'll need to change ctld.slingLoad=true in the script at the top before adding it to your mission to use real rather than simulated crates.

Fakum Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Relevant thread (albeit old), I like transporting cargo in multiplayer with the Huey, it takes a long time to go back and forth to get single crates. I have the Mi8, but have not used it yet. I was wondering how much more I can carry in a single run with the Mi8 instead? Say I want to build a Hawk site, can I transport all 3 crates in 1 shot? I realize I can probably find the crate weights somewhere and then find the payload capacity, but I was wondering if anyone already had a chart so to speak? Thanks.

dSAF Dancer Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 You can only load one crate, it is not weight dependant.

BaD CrC Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 The building process of your hawk site relies on CTLD script running on the server you are flying on. Whoever is hosting can actually define how many crates are required for the hawk of the FARP to be built. As Silo01 says, the construction is not dependent on the total weight transported but simply on the number of crates, no matter their respective weight. Now if you can convince the host to set number of crates required for hawk site to 1, it will work for you, but that might create an unbalance in the MP server for the other aircraft with hawk sites popping out everywhere at a high rate. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fakum Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Ahhh,, ok,,, got it. Thanks. My initial thought though was simple, the Huey can only pickup 1 crate, so I thought the Mi8 would have room and capacity for more.

dSAF Dancer Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 but it would probably be possible (if the ctld is configured to use real crates), to make two possibilities for setting up the hawk: one with the crates used now and one with crates that are twice as heavy and use half of the crates. It would however need queite some reprogramming of the script Louis|Dancer, foundation member of the digital Swiss Air Force, a group of enthusiasts trying to imitate everything that has to do with Swiss military aviation on dcs.

Weta43 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 there couldn't just be two versions running at the same time ? One for light helicopters and another for Mi-8 ? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
