flying chutes???
« on: January 27, 2003, 05:57:33 PM »
i was just wondering...would there be any appeal to anyone if you could control your parachute???  you could add smoke and turn flips and loops and spirals.

anyone else think this is a good idea???  even bad feedback is good.

L8ter,

WWII parachutes were not like that.

true animal...but WWII planes didn't have airshow smoke either.  plus...like the smoke...it wouldn't affect the reality of the game that much.  it would give you something to do after bailing out on the servers that don't let you tower out.

Airshow smoke is good to use offline or in the training arena to practice maneuvers.  It is not enabled in the MA or CT.

There is no reason to change the model of the chute or to add smoke just to make it "fun".

I think it'd be nice if something happened to your airplane if you collided with a chute or its occupant.  What would happen in real life™?

Thats why they got squeegies in gas stations.
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.
