L63H_ACM_Compat Arma Reforger Mod

Fast-roping for L63_HeliAI's AI helicopters, using ACM Flight CORE's RIDE system. With this addon, an L63_HeliAI transport that reaches a rope point (an RP route mark) hovers low and lowers its ropes. AI troops in the cabin rope down by themselves, three to a rope, and defend the point. Players in the cabin take Rappel Down (Left/Right). The helicopter waits until everyone is down, cuts its ropes and flies on. Without this addon, L63_HeliAI flies rope points as landings. What it adds - RIDE rope stations on all 15 vanilla L63H AI helicopters: two ropes, left and right, on the UH-1H family (transport, armed, gunship and civilian) and one at the port door on the Mi-8 family. They are added to L63_HeliAI's own helicopter prefabs, so missions that already use those prefabs get ropes with no edits. - The link between the two mods: L63_HeliAI decides when to rope, hold and leave; RIDE does the roping. - Rope safety, together with L63_HeliAI: over trees or water the rope moves to the nearest clear spot within 60 m. If the helicopter has to leave with someone still on a rope, every rider is first put on the ground below him. Requirements - L63_HeliAI 0.0.75 or later. An older L63_HeliAI does not compile with this addon. - ACM Flight CORE (1.0.46 or later). Both are dependencies and download automatically. For server admins - Update L63_HeliAI first, then add this addon. - Remove BFS-F.R.I.E.S Reforged and Physics Rope if you ran them for L63_HeliAI. A helicopter cannot carry two rope systems, and this addon refuses to rope on one that does. - The server log prints "L63H_RopeAdapter: rope backend - ACM RIDE." once. That line confirms the ropes are in use. - Removing this addon is safe: L63_HeliAI then flies rope points as landings. For mission makers - Nothing to set up: use L63_HeliAI's L63H helicopter prefabs and RP marks as usual. - AI troops rope by default. To keep them aboard, untick AI Cargo Insertion on L63_HeliAI's route coordinator. - Only the 15 vanilla L63H AI helicopters get ropes from this addon. Known limits - A Game Master deleting a helicopter also deletes the riders on its ropes, as vanilla's Delete does with a vehicle's passengers. - A destroyed helicopter's explosion can still kill riders right below it. - Two helicopters roping within 45 m of each other: a forced drop by one also puts the other's riders down. Credits and permission - ACM Flight CORE and its RIDE system are the work of Achilles Modding. This addon contains none of their files: it depends on their mod and uses RIDE's own functions. - Made with Achilles Modding's permission (29 SEP 2026). - This is an independent addon. It is not made, supported or endorsed by Achilles Modding; please report problems with it to me (Discord - Landz65), not to them. - All ACM helicopters will be added to a registry within this mod to allow scenario makers to pick and choose which choppers are available with mod auto-detection.
