geloxo has posted on the BI Forums several work in progress screenshots of his Rope System: Rapel insertion + Cargo Pick/Drop.
Hello everybody. I´m back!
It´s a long time since I last posted on the forum but I have good news for you: I´m working on an upgraded version of the already released Handy Tools addon for those who are fans of the operations with helicopters.
I´ve been working on this for some weeks and I decided to post info about my WIP after seen some nice videos of other people trying to reproduce the rope insertion in ArmA. Yeap, I fully agree that´s a must have for a modern game and I was quite disgusted too when this was not yet implemented in ArmA nor planned for Arma II. So, here comes my "baby":
I created a simplified physics model for a rope made of several bones, which are anymated via configurable formulas for advanced users but don´t need more than a 5 entries array call to work for lazy users.
Cargo or troops attached to the rope will follow each bone movement tracing an accurate path either on the transportation or in the rappel operation. Rope configuration allows users to set 1 or 2 ropes, their attach position, lenght and also dynamically change the lenght of the rope while in game to ease the operation or even manually drop cargos when desired.
If you are familiar with basic physics you will know a rope is one of most difficult systems to reproduce, and that´s why I had to reduce its features to some basic ones to ease the design but anyway I think the result is quite nice: the rope oscilation and weight on the rope provided by cargo or troops change its shape and oscillation properties. As you see on those pics, once the soldiers start to move on the rope, that one becomes more rigid, like in the case of transporting a cargo
This fully configurable system works with all choppers and allows multiple squads rappel on both sides of the vehicle. It´s also designed to match with existing which, like in the case of the spanish FAMET AB212 from FFAA mod above.

deanosbeano aka Mr.Brickmaker released an first interim beta version of the fast roping script we reported on a few days ago in the OFPEC.com forums.
Hi all, I am testing a fast rope idea using some workarounds for the animation of the ropes (wont say what cause like some meals we like it until we discover whats in it). Anyway to the job in hand , i have decided that whilst i am getting it ready for MP DEDI fitness i would release it in a singleplayer state ,so i can get some feedback and alter accordingly whilst writing all the MP stuff.
