	The S-64 includes 7 hardpoints at which pods may be attached. Pod attachment is performed through the helicopter menus and causes the pods to be physically linked with the helicopter. This eliminates crossing issues while carying pods as the pods become part of the helicopter linkset. The system allows pods to be dynamically attached and detached. Multiple pods my be simultaneously attached as long as there are available hardpoints.		The S-64 includes 7 hardpoints at which pods may be attached.

 ===Hoist System===
 A single-point hoist system that supports sling loads up to 20,000 pounds static (15,000 pounds for hydraulic raising/lower) is included as standard equipment on this helicopter. The hoist can be controlled from any pilot station, but is typically controlled from the aft-facing pilot staion. Three sizes of full-perm hoist loops (with a copy/transfer script) provided with the helicopter can be linked to your own loads to allow you to pick up and carry whatever you can think of.
 The hoist can be controlled through buttons on the cyclic and collective, or through chat commands. Controls include up/down and open/close for the hook. Loads are picked up by lowering an open hook near the load. When the hook is close enough, the hook will close latching on to the load. A physical follow script is used to "carry" the load with "cross easy" technology used to easy sim crossings.

-The SA Aircrane features over 40 functioning instruments and gauges in the cockpit. This includes a set of primary instruments for the pilot and co-pilot, and a central set of shared gauges displaying engine and aircraft systems state. Three position lighting switches can be indepently controlled for the pilot, copilot and central flight instruments.

 The aircrane has over 60 functioning switches and rotary dials that control the various systems of the helicopter. The full start, modeled closely from the RL pilot's manual, is described in a 95 element checklist.
