Hey, uh. If you could help me with a build I'm making for this specific attachment, it'd be great. [It's a container picker, for quick pick-up-and-go. I have something to bring it to the heli and away from it, but nothing to store bc I can't figure out how the hell to do it. I had a winch system, but it decided to implode.]

Thanks again for the helicopter and the addons. It's amazing, I love it so much !!

4. Get back in the helicopter; use the MFD display in the center to get to the "Addon" screen, and activate the "Addon Relay" switch on the top near the co-pilot seat
5. Use the C, F or R buttons to activate the electrical connectors, and then the U or D button to lower or raise the addon
6. Align the addon with the crate
7. It should connect !
8. To disconnect, use the C, F or R again.
9. Done !

Had some trouble using it too, so here are some additional instructions :

1. Follow the instructions in the description to "add" the addon to the helicopter, but BE CAREFUL : there is an issue currently. The helicopter as appearing in the editor is too low, and following the instructions as currently written will "clip" the electrical connectors the addon need to work (they will appear in red when trying to paste the addon).
To solve this : Load the helicopter in the editor, use the "move" tool to move it a little bit up, **then** make the addon appear and paste it on the copter. Make sure than nothing on the addon is indicated in red before pasting it (which mean it will be deleted; surely because the addon is out of the boundaries of the editor !)
2. Make the helicopter start, go to a place with crates
3. Get off the helicopter and then activate the top connectors of the crate (there is a button on the crate).

where can i find a crate??

Thank you very much.

You control if from MFD addon control page

So. i could use some help with this addon. i have it attached. but I cannot get it to lower or connect to a container. I did turn on the addon power relay. but I cannot get anything to function.

How do I connect it with the container?

I had some fun with this module. I believe it has a great potential to be used as an ISO-compatible arresting gear so that you can haul this helicopter on a truck, trailer or even a rail car. The ability to release/retract the cradle worked wonderfully to serve the purpose. I tested to haul it on rail, and thankfully I had no problem to travel from Spycakes and Comodo.

The only problem is, the electric connectors are off by default, so as soon as you load your save, you have to turn the cradle on again. It would be much better to have a proper ISO-compatible arresting module, able to refuel/recharge, and doesn't disconnect on reload. Even further, it might be possible to build a mobile pit-stop for this helicopter, carrying multiple add-on modules and can swap them handy. However, this means you should be able to be arrested on the pit-stop with/without the add-on modules, which means the hypothetical arresting mechanism can't be a standard add-on module; so might need a lot of work.

What a shockingly superb creation, no doubt. However, I believe this add-on can be even better with a few touches:

1. if you load this add-on without moving the base vehicle upward in the vehicle bench, the connectors for the containers are clipped out of the vehicle bench's creation range, thus removed. I believe it can be simply solved by moving the base vehicle slightly upward by default.
2. It would be super nice to have a laser sensor for this add-on, so you can read the distance to the target container on the center display, as well as how long the cradle winches are extended.

after installing how use?

cant find paste

got it fixed lol, I couldn't find the addon display previously, got it now.

Thank you for the sick helicopter

Remember to turn on addon relay on overhead panel so the addon has electricity.

could you make an addon thats just that but magnets for lfting either vehicles or other items away

It is shaking when flying with a container of 25,000 mass and then the rotors break

Select the crane screen on the centre MFD.

how do you get the crane to go up and down?
