Can helicopter load Jeep?

Recommended Posts

Can I let helicopter (UH-60)hang a jeep or light vehicle and deliver it from base to front line?

If it is possible, how can I make it?

It was made in OFP. It's totally possible. If anyone knew how to do it, it would probably be an addon helicopter/string attached to a vehicle. If anyone knew how to do it as yet I'm sure they would have started.

It's coming smile_o.gif

The way it was done in OFP didn´t look that convincing imo.

Basically the cargo was not really attached to the helo, but only a ropelike object and the cargo were put into a setpos loop that updated their position according to the helo´s position.

It didn´t look fluent or lifelike, maybe in stills it did, but while in motion you always had a certain amount of visual lag of the objects as the update rate and setpos rate was just a tad too slow.

Don´t know if that is supposed to work better with Arma but I doubt it.

Thanks for your matey reply.

I really cannot understand why there isn't this function in ArmA. It isn't very difficult to make it happened... huh.gif

Well, you may be right. Vehicles and soldiers aren't all too different in the game, and since soldiers can be loaded into cargo positions on vehicles, with some modification to the engine vehicles might be able to aswell (I think BIS may have even attempted this early on in OFP with the LST, but that's just a guess). However, only the developers can say how easy it would (or wouldn't) be.

If its an addon it is possible to animate it (it was in OFP) as i remember having a chinook mod with cable hooked onto a vehicle and it could sway in the wind, you were limited with speed etc

Really realistic and cool!

I cant wait for a Chinook addon to appear for ArmA.. we could maybe even drive them inside with the new collision detection? smile_o.gif

Wish granted ?

AH-64A and CH-47D

Though I doubt that transporting will work properly. For tests I just put some barrels on a truck but they popped around like popcorn sad_o.gif
