by
norrin and DeanosBeano


Description:
1. Allows an AI pilot to move to a waypoint and then AI and player automatically rappel to the ground once the fast ropes are deployed.
2. Allows player pilots to fast rope AI units at their whim.
3. If a player is in a cargo postion then he will get an option to deploy fastropes from a stationary chopper, he will also get an option to descend ropes

The archive contains:
* Fast rope addon that contains the rope and the fast rope script (Just use something like @norrn_dbo_fastrope folder to create a mod-folder as you would in ArmA).
* Signature files
*An example mission on utes that shows fast rope insertions, which you can view from a number of different perspectives.
