Hey, I installed this mod for my server and it doesn't seem to work. I used the tug and aligned the 2 spheres with one of the vanilla vehicles that are listed above. But all I keep getting is "Attached" and then nothing happens, vehicle still in place and I'm driving around.

Tried a modded A-10 from RHS and when I put the spheres together and press shift + B it says "Transferring Localities Try Again Later" and then nothing happens after.

Absolutely love this mod, could almost be used for trucks and trailers I figure. My personal favorite part was the 'getconfigvalue' function allowing me to set a vehicle to tow from the front or back with an action on my own, very clever.

Could you make Interactive black hawk towable too?
MirroRMonsteR Jun 30, 2021 @ 12:38am 
@stefanzo: just use the f-4 from the unsung mod. that CAN be towed, and is of equal or greater quality than prarie fire
Stefanzo May 27, 2021 @ 4:19pm 
@Leshrack are you working on updating this to work with the f-4s on the SOG prarie fire DLC, my clan is looking to do a carrier op and would love to use the new f-4s

Where can I find it in the menu?
bossgothegamer Feb 28, 2021 @ 9:23pm 
can you have it where other cars can tow the aircraft?
Мишка-лед Jan 16, 2021 @ 9:17am 
Can you do some plug-ins compatible with other mods?such as h60 E-2C @Leshrack
Leshrack  [author] Nov 13, 2020 @ 9:27am 
@mrmooseknuckle: Most likely they haven't been configured for towing. It is up to the author of the mods which add the vehicles to include the configs. Especially now that I have more or less moved on from arma myself. There is an option to manually set them in the mission editor described in the readme file if i don't misremember.

Hi there, I just downloaded the mod and giving it a try now for the Nimitz. But both the A/S32A and B-600 tractors give me an error/message that says vehicle can't tow. Is this an error or am I maybe just missing a step?
Thanks for the mod BTW!

@Red-Thirten in it's current form it needs to run on clients as well as the actual towing related functions need to run where the vehicles are local which is rarely the server in a multiplayer environment.
Red-Thirten Nov 9, 2020 @ 5:15pm 
Can this mod be run server-side only? Or does it also have to run on the client as well?
Leshrack  [author] Nov 9, 2020 @ 11:25am 
@LuchoEB It is a code only mod so not much to retexture :) but as long as attribution is kept intact you can use it mostly as you wish. Check out https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses/arma-public-license-share-alike for the license details
LuchoEB Nov 8, 2020 @ 11:41am 
hello with all respect and admiration. I may be able to use your mod and include it in my internal use mod in my clan. and retexturize respecting its authorship.
Leshrack  [author] Oct 1, 2020 @ 12:50pm 
Yeah i guess. All i really know is that that error is caused by a file that was removed several versions ago.
Jinz Oct 1, 2020 @ 10:50am 
@Leshrack So i have to delete "Lesh's Towing Mod"right not all of them?And subcribe again?
Leshrack  [author] Oct 1, 2020 @ 7:19am 
@Jinz There is probably an extra file left over from an old version. Try deleting the mod folder and redownloading.

@SilentGunnerJohn installation of the mod shouldn't differ from any other mod. There are resources available. But long story short at mod folder to server directory, make sure you add the mod to the startup parameters and copy the bikey file into the keys folder.
Jinz Oct 1, 2020 @ 12:03am 
"addon 'lesh_tow_cbharrier requires addon Cha_AV8B"anyone can help me??
SilentgunnerJohn Sep 25, 2020 @ 6:14pm 
Is there a basic guide avaiable for installing this mod (or similar mods) on a dedicated server?
I am assuming that installing this mod requires more than simply adding it to your list of required mods on the server.
Buckshot Sep 19, 2020 @ 1:50pm 
I have tried this on several vehicles. With the stomper . i know tried getting into the jet i want to tow. Then i get out and use the ugv again. I know get in the text saying attached. But when i try to drive the ugv forward it keeps going and the jet stays put.
Leshrack  [author] Sep 19, 2020 @ 1:11am 
That should be pretty much it. What vehicles are in question? And what does the sidechat when you pressh the keys?
Buckshot Sep 18, 2020 @ 12:42pm 
Hi there. I have this installed and i do get the 2 connection points (guides) I line them both up and hit Shit-b again but the vehicle doesnt tow?? Am i missing something?
Leshrack  [author] Sep 2, 2020 @ 11:25am 
@DarkGun707 The licence under which it is released allows for a great many things. The only restriction beyond the license is thats reuploads on steam are not allowed according to the Steam workshop TOS. If you have some other mechanism for modpack managment like arma3sync etc you are free to add this mod to it. You can find more info about the license here: https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses/arma-public-license-share-alike

I'd like to use this mode at Clan. I'd appreciate it if you could give me permission to use it. It's for a lot of people.
MysterFlyp May 12, 2020 @ 10:26am 
hi how can I add the category for a trailer it can be found in the objects i've tried with house or house_F but it doesn't probably with structure?
Just John May 5, 2020 @ 9:32pm 
the towing vehicle isnt showing on my editor for some reason
dafrandle Apr 23, 2020 @ 11:29am 
Is the RHSUSAF A-10 configured to support this mod?
Stryker Feb 9, 2020 @ 6:05pm 
@LazyLukeGaming you can get mods that work with it
L. Hog Feb 3, 2020 @ 6:27pm 
i would love to see this working with the normal towing tractor, doesnt look right with the big apc looking thing
The Courier Feb 1, 2020 @ 6:29pm 
is it possible to make a vehicle towable that isnt normally towable with this mod
Kloud77 Dec 14, 2019 @ 5:15pm 
I can't seem to get this to work, not sure if it is due to running infistar on the server as well?
Devastator Oct 27, 2019 @ 2:26pm 
Is it possible to make the RHS C130 towable with your mod?
Phœnix Oct 24, 2019 @ 1:54pm 
thank you it helps to tidy up the device:steamhappy:

I wish you would've made more vehicles able to tow, like using the atv's for uav's.
Leshrack  [author] Jul 17, 2019 @ 8:14am 
@Logo110 The plane is configured but it has since been moved in its "local" space so the coordinates are now somewhere underground. I'll fix it in the next update coming around the same time as the contact dlc.

@The Poker: The assumed way is in configs so one can make an small mod to add configs to a vehicle type. I added a way to set up specific vehicles in the mission using setVariable. The variable names are the same as in the configs so you could do _vehicle setVariable ["LESH_canTow", 1, true]; _vehicle setVariable ["LESH_axisOffsetTower", [0,-1,1], true] for example. The readme has more specifics about the names and what the values represent.

However I also have made some changes that it can also read the mission config for the values from description.ext which will come in the next update and the readme will be updated to reflect those changes.
PokerGuh Jul 16, 2019 @ 3:02pm 
@Leshrack Is there a way to add more planes/helis in the so that I can get more stuff to be towed? is that all config stuff?
Logo110 Jul 16, 2019 @ 5:03am 
As you said this addon supports most of firewill's airplanes.
Does it include Firewill F-16? Because it says "Target vehicle not it range" When I am near F-16.
Thanks. :)
