There is a dynamical rope implementation selectable for the Alouette-III which may not be realistic equipment, but serves to exemplify the concept of a dynamically simulated rope in Flightgaer.

The simulation of the rope solves a simplified set of equations of motion for each rope segment, thus the rope will dangle and deform realistically when subject to wind forces, coil when lowered onto the ground, uncoil when dragged over the ground, gradually adjust direction with the helicopter hover direction of motion when dragged further, change dangle dynamics when under load or lowered/raised via the winch and many details more.
