Description:
SP & MP Compatible. Full replacement for in-game sling loading.

Once you have this addon enabled, all helicopters will have a new "ropes" menu once you get in the helicopter. Watch the video for more details. Also, if you want to run this mod on a MP server, only the server is required to have this addon installed.


Features:
Ropes can no longer attach automatically! You need to either get out of your helicopter or have someone on the ground pick up your cargo ropes and attach them to an object.
Helicopters support up to 3 sets of cargo ropes, depending on the size of the heli.
Once cargo ropes are deployed, any player can go to the end of the rope and pick it up.
Once the ropes are picked up by a player, they can be attached to pretty much every object in the game.
Players can drop ropes if they're carrying them
Players on the ground can detached ropes from an object
Helicopters can lift heavy vehicles


Installation:
To install the Advanced Sling Loading you should use modfolders to keep it seperate from the official game content to prevent issues.
With Arma 3 you can use different ways to set up your modfolders to use custom content you have downloaded.
Please visit the Arma 3 Mod install instructions page for more information about using custom mods and addons in Arma 3.
