Try to replicate on a short track on the Caucasus map in single player.

In the past it has been a multiplayer-specific issue (and possibly dedicated server only, versus self-host MP).

It could be related to how forces on the load/cable are interpolated across packets which would become more critical during the final stage of a descent.

ty i have pasted it on to the man that dose our server

i watched him put it down like a baby and vanished then  shot up in the air and around 100 feet in front of chopper

I guess it needs a comment from ED about whether there is a reported general issue with sling-loading on the dedicated server. I assume it's something that was tested in a multiplayer environment initially but maybe some subsequent updates have caused this issue. There's also the collision mesh for the map to be accounted for as well, which could be a 3rd party responsibility for maps like Syria, Germany or Kola.

@BIGNEWY are you aware of an issue with sling-loads on the dedicated server acting erratically when dropped off, even when running a Caucasus mission?

[badatthis]

its on all of the maps we all own if you get the chance could you pls go to GAKK Shack server, and have a look. I am just an old vet form the army. lol not very good with pc things thank you so much

@Laxxor are you still seeing this issue with bouncing cargo?

[Laxxor]

@Moezilla yes, bouncing, sinking and on some occasions trebuchet.  

Still seems linked to desync as it is more likely to happen with a hot-drop (some in at relative speed touch-disconnect), than a slow approach and allowing the cargo to remain stationary for a second or two before disconnect.

Now, if we only could load'em up with some ANFO and a detonators. They could at least they serve some purpose.

If ED would make the cargo events publicly available through the API.. we could...

Hi,

Add me to the list of folks whose sling load shoots up in the air after release from any helicopter in DCS multiplayer. 

One time the load came up and hit the main rotor of the Mi-24 which I was flying, causing it to crash.
