What is it?
It's a crane hook for the SkyRider Bolide.
Awesome! How do I use it?
Where's the crane hook? I can't see it.
- Download one (or both) of the SkyRider mods (SkyRider Ultimate or SkyRider Classic).
- Download the SkyLifter mod (this mod).
- Spawn a SkyRider Bolide.
- Install the Crane Hook in the Additional Modification slot.
- Map a control to toggle the crane hook.
- Spawn some "crane-able" cargo with mass <1350 kg.
- Pick up the cargo, transport it, and then either drop it from a great height, or set it down gently.
I used the same advanced forcefield technology that lifts the SkyRider to create a short-range tractor beam that holds the cargo. It's not because I'm lazy and didn't feel like creating a visual component.
Why is the SkyRider hard to control when carrying heavy cargo?
The SkyRider flight control system was not designed to cope with too much extra mass. Instability can result when it's pushed too far outside its design envelope.

I can try. In order to make it universal, I need to find nodes that have the same name on all vehicles. Since the crane hook is attached to the chassis (body/frame), this might not be easy because chassis node names aren't always the same on all vehicles. I'll see what I can do, but I might not have much success.

As soon as I saw it, I knew SkyRider had cargo carrying potential.
