Please do not reupload this without my permission.


This vehicle is not intended to be a direct recreation of the Sikorsky S64 Skycrane, it is merely visually interpreted and modified to fit the playstyle of SW.


If you find any issues with the creation, think of a useful addition, or want to voice your opinion on it, please use the comment section! I will try to reply directly as soon as possible, thanks for all of your support :).


To access the cockpit locate the switches that are hidden under door windows. Pictured above.


Author's Note
The container variant is one of the harder ones to use thanks to the precisions required. I highly recommend not extending the winch cables unless you're dropping containers off. Haul containers to an open field and lower the S64 into place to then pick them up, that works best against the constantly swaying cables. When transporting, I also recommend locking the frame to the underbody to reduce glitches and the occasional wrecking-ball motion that would not end well with the main rotor blades.


Description
This is the container hauling variant of the S64. It is equipped with a detachable frame that has four corner connectors to lock 29x11x11 containers into place. It is able to carry one freight container at a time, at a much faster pace than the trains. This model can also be used to pick up player-made containers/vehicles with 29x11x11 dimensions. The crane operator has control over this variant's specific usage.


Notable Features / Information
  • Extreme amount of user applied controls, features, etc.
  • Very detailed (semi-realistic) dialog cockpit.
  • Around 12,000 mass lifting potential with base model.
  • Entire crew control capability depending on status.
  • Steady taxiing and flight computers.
  • Two conventional jet turbine engines.
  • Around 10,000 liters of main jet fuel onboard.

The heli will not descend unless you give it negative collective, less rps, or are using any of the auto-pilot/hover/etc functions that deal with altitude.

The APU will not run automatically unless it is told to, then it will run for 120 seconds after the battery falls to a certain low point. Alternatively it can be manually toggled with the APU switch.

Anyone having problems with the heli not descending?

Range? The winches go 20M down until fully extended. Fuel consumption depends on mode usage and if youre in low gear or not, however that is something i would not have written down because with lots of testing i've rarely gotten it below 8000/10000l,
