Logistics

Two ways of moving heavy things: towing vehicles with ropes, and carrying cargo under a helicopter.

Towing

• Prepare a tow rope from an ACE rope (yours, or one in the vehicle), attach it to another vehicle, and drive it away. You can also detach, pack, drop or pick up the rope.
• Rope length follows the rope item you use.
• A towed vehicle can only be so much heavier than the one towing it, and towed vehicles can tow others if chains are allowed.
• Towing has a speed cap, and the rope snaps if stretched or driven too fast.
• Locked vehicles cannot be roped, and if the rope is too short you are told to move closer.

Helicopter sling loading

• Deploy one, two or three cargo ropes under a helicopter, extend or shorten them, pick up cargo, and release it.
• Works from the vehicle's action menu or with keys.

Settings and keys

Towing can be switched on or off, and the ropes, vehicles and driving limits can be tuned. Sling loading has no settings but has its own keys under TF999 Vehicles. See settings_users.md and keybinds_users.md.
