hook loading


hi guys
Was playing today on public and going out to an objective with a vehicle underslung from a merlin but it would end up dropping it twice on route ending up with no vehicle was wondering if there was another mod that could be used instead as that one isn't working properly .

thanks mccabe9442

This seems to be something that was added either into vanilla or ACE a little while back - if you pull too aggressively, or the vehicle is too heavy, then the hook can fail. If you try flying a bit more gently then it should be fine :)

is it just the default arma hook loading we use or is this something to consider if the hook load is playing up

If it's too heavy to sling load you don't get an option to sling load it.

If you pull excessive g in your maneuvres you'll break the sling rope. Vanilla sling loading is working as intended, you may just need to fly much more gently as Nick mentions.

Agreed. There are massive sling loading issues atm. You can be dead slow and it will just break off. It's been an issue much more recently though.

Are any of you pilots able to find out if this is common to all Arma players/servers (eg. reports on BI forums) or unique to us?
If the latter we can investigate further if it's a conflict between mods or settings.
