Slingloading has been bugged for months, has noone noticed?

[bertOC]

For a long time now slingloads have been basically weightless, leading to weird swinging behavior and other problems.

 

Is there a big underlying problem that needs months to fix? It's causing problems for lots of campaigns and hasn't really been adressed anywhere.

 

You can easily test it, it's bugged in SP and MP.

 

Hook up to a cargo, stabilize hover and tighten the line by climbing at about 0.3 to 0.5 m/s, (300-500fpm) so pretty slow.

 

Once the line is tight you'd expect the cargo to anchor you to the ground until you apply enough power to lift it, always worked that way.

 

Now all cargos are lifted effortlessly, weighing close to nothing as it seems.

Yeah you are right:)

the weight is missing when you lift the cargo;
This stuff was working before the patch.2.5.5 /2.5.6.
Now we don't feel anything.

It's a pity because the stuff was here before.

It will be easy to refurnish the code,maybe?

The swinging bug may fix with change rope size.
wait and see.

Interestingly, it's broken in Mi-8 and Ka-50, but works ok in a Huey.
