Who else hates how parachutes in this game work?
.
They instantly deploy and reduce speed as soon as it activates, you can’t make the size larger without it significantly ruining your speed/drag, XML’ing their mass or drag doesn’t do much, if your aircraft is very light and the parachute is very big, it’ll just fall sideways, and are highly finicky.
.
Does anyone besides me want them to be reworked or find them annoying to work with?
I would like them to deploy like they should and be more XML friendly.
Look at pinned comment for more explanation of “delay of deployment”
Blow this post up so the devs can possibly see this
@UltraLight ...
not a delay like that I use FT all the time with them
once they leave the bag, and take time to unfold IN THE AIR
like this
It takes time for the parachute to catch the wind and unfold so it can actually do what it is suppose to.
Very rarely the parachute won’t even open, this has happened uncommonly with Military supply/vehicle drops. In game it just opens as if a tire popped
@Kangy
Welp, who knows, we will just have to wait and see.
@FeatherWing yes, hence my theory that SP2 is around the corner
yeah exactly
@KnightOfRen
true
@WolfSpark
@Kangy
One of the biggest reason why SP is slow to get updates is the game is quite complex in a technical aspect. According to the Mods, the way SP is designed just makes it difficult to update and such, whereas SR2 is far less complicated and that makes it easier to update for one thing.
tbh the parachute physics are a bit unrealistic as irl the parachute opens normally however in sp they open like an umbrella
@WolfSpark haha same bro
@Kangy you are probably right there. They have been... silent ever since April Fools and the Drama thing...
I hope and pray that all aircraft here can transfer to there. If not imma riot
one of many things the devs could do if they spent time here instead of sr2
but it's kind of suspicious that sr2 has had 6 updates in the time that sp has had 1
sp2 is surely in the works
Me: i want a custom parachutes
Sp community: we can make a mod on it
Me: i use android
Sp community: nevermind..
@WolfSpark ok yeah I get it now. Rectangle / steerable parachutes would also be super nice
@KnightOfRen @WolfSpark its literally so easy to make them delayed and it's been in the game for a loooong time. And yes I am thinking of parachutes not detachers
@WolfSpark
I'll announce it in my discord
@KnightOfRen I hope they make a variable deploy time. So for drogue chutes or a parachuter
Make this go viral so it could quite possibly can be made
@JeskoGoesVROOM
I always wanted a delaying parachute. That way I could have nukes that drop and slow down so you can get out of range
I second this
I think they should look a bit better.
@JeskoGoesVROOM uh I wouldn’t say that.
That should be an option, not always. That might screw with FT
just make them reusable like in SR2 for hecks sake
and also maybe an opening delay (like in detachers/pylons) would be useful
