- Skyhook
- SHS Fly_Drive-by -Dev

How to use it

Each switch is on the overhead console, the panel in the cockpit roof.

**Fast rope, F.R.I.E.S**
- Pilot, in the hover: **Deploy F.R.I.E.S** on the overhead console.
- Passengers: open a cabin door on your side, then **Board F.R.I.E.S** from a cabin seat.
- On the rope: S slides down, W climbs, A and D move across. You let go at the bottom by yourself.
- To get back in: keep climbing with W past the top of the rope.
- Pilot, once the ropes are clear: **Retract F.R.I.E.S**.

**Sling load** (Skyhook)
- Hover more than 3 m up, with the load within 20 m of the belly hook. It must be Skyhook-ready and no more than 1,700 kg.
- Pilot or copilot: **Hook sling load** on the overhead console. When it cannot hook, its label says why.
- Hook in the hover, never on the ground: a load hooked on the ground is dragged under the helicopter and drops off at take-off.
- **Release sling load** at the same switch drops it. The pilot can also use Skyhook's key, Home.

**Door gunners**
- Open the sliding door on your side.
- From a cabin seat, press U, or use **Get in** at the open doorway. You fire your own weapon.
- H straps the harness on or off. U again sits back down.
- The door cannot be closed while a gunner is in it.

Use one kit at a time: both kits change the same Dauphin file, and only the first one loaded applies. The ACE, Brit Forces and REAPER RHIB companions can be added beside it.
