    @b00stJuNKy yeah I found a code that does work, let me find the plane I was working on and I'll upload it, you can take the code from it @ArcturusAerospace @goboygo @b00stJuNKy

    I can’t find anything on here other than pretty much this post about auto chutes. Took me quite a while. But I figured out 2 ways of deploying a parachute based on AGL Altitude @L3thalPredator @goboygo1 @ArcturusAerospace

    It seems it needs at least 2 variables to work, don’t know why.

    (This first one is ground speed & Agl) it doesn’t work if you write AltitudeAgl first.

    1. GS > 01 & AltitudeAgl < 200

    (Next is the gps Latitude cords & Agl)(these are for yeager airfield)

    1. Latitude > 14445 & AltitudeAgl < 200

    @ArcturusAerospace
    that's easy, just put in:
    AGL < 10
    you can adjust the number as needed.

    Sounds good. Use this funky trees input for your activationGroup in overload:
    .
    Activate7 * floor(smooth(clamp01(Activate7), Activate7 ? 1 / 7.5 : pow(10,10) ))
    .
    While I haven't worked with parachutes in a while, but this should work. Let me know if it doesn't work.

    @spefyjerbf i need about 7.5 seconds and the activation group is 7

    @goboygo1
    What should I use to make a parachute open at a certain altitude above the ground?

    in the activationGroup slot of the parachute part put:
    smooth(Activate1 ,1)
    That should work. you can adjust the last "1" to change the delay.

    Not sure why the other commenter believes that it can’t be done. What delay do you need, and what activation group will the parachute use?
