Introducing the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
From the name itself, the Helicopter pulls loads up to 25,000Ibs because it's meant for cargo. This specific build I made requires skilled players because this build is not easy to fly, it requires practice and patience, but when you get the hang of it, you will quite enjoy flying it or messing around :>
CONTROLS:
- Pitch = Pitch
- Roll = Roll
- Yaw = Rotate
- VTOL = Winch (down)
ACTIVATIONS:
- Activation 1 = Start up
- Activation 2 = Crane magnet
- Activation 3 = Hull magnet
- Activation 4 = Stabilize (Gyroscope/for heavy loads)
- Activation 5 = Water injection (More thrust/for heavy loads)
- Activation7 = Head lights
- Activation 8 = Navigation/Anti-collision lights
COCKPIT:
LIFTING ABILITIES:
Lifting via hull:
Lifting via winch:
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- Activate 1 is responsible for hydraulics (Yaw control/power).
- Make sure to go over 3k rpm before lifting off/u could do it earlier if u want.
- Use 10-30% throttle input for taking off and cruising.
- Never use 100% throttle for regular flying without using Act. 4, only use when cargo is carried.
- Go only 30-60 degrees of angle of attack because Heli wont pull up if u do any further, if u do that, Activate 4 which is the gyroscope to recover.
- Activate 5 if helicopter won't lift up, like an assist for more thrust.
- Activate 4 for carrying heavy loads because its raw rotor lift won't be enough to move heavy load efficiently.
- Avoid moving a lot when the winch is down, it tends to build inertia then colloid with the main rotor which causes a crash.
- Avoid doing acrobatics with the helicopter (It's heavy and its not design for it)
- Be gentle with the beast.

I need to test if this will pick up the uss tiny
Just realized I never commented on this. This is not only the best S-64, but quite possibly the best helicopter in general that I have ever flown in this game. It looks fantastic and flies beautifully. Outstanding!
Crane magnet only activate after it was open and off
@CRATE52PART2 I uploaded a firefighter version here it is https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/D2CFxn/Sikorsky-S-64-firefighter
@CRATE52PART2 hey I added some stuff so the sky Crain is a firefighter also I made another by basically just adding a extra which is just a gas container that you can connect to with the Crain
We need more detailed helicopters on Simpleplanes.
Nice! Very smooth to operate
@JuanNotAnAlt CRATE_52#3038
@JuanNotAnAlt yup
We can talk in an unlisted post if u don't have.
@CRATE52PART2 do u have discord?
@JuanNotAnAlt hm??
@CRATE52PART2 I want to say something to you
@MAHADI Kumamatanga Archipelago
which map is that?
Wow this is really cool
@CRATE52PART2 cool, thank you very much
Finally, a detailed skycrane with a winch!
Great heli, AI craft was so damn annoying to catch though.
@WolfHunter9111 Kumamatanga-Archipelago
What map do you use?
@Yourlocalhuman you can but you have to kill it first
This thing is really cool, and very well made!
Love the Helicopter flight model (with what you can achieve in SP)
I also like that you need to learn to fly it.
It's not hard to fly, but it is hard to fly Good ;)
I wanna make one
Nice, thanks.
I'll give it a go later on today
