FS-2002 Parachute

[swarley 0]

Hi All, FYI i just found a Parachute for flight sim 2002. No, you can't "Freefall", but you can experience Canopy flight at any location in the world.
It can be downloaded at http://www.fsfreeware.com/cgi-bin/dcd_a/dcd.cgi?az=search. Just insert "Parachute" in the topic line. Take care and Have fun.

Now, if they had a wingsuit, even if it was just a Birdman Classic, I might be interested.

Although, it might be fun to fly a Fox 265 around downtown LA..

hey swarley, why the heck won't this thing show up when you are choosing an aircraft. I've done everything its says I should do.

Joel, Did you do this?
To install create a folder under the aircraft-folder and name it as you like.
Extract ALL files to this new folder.
Finally copy the files in the 'myflights' folder into the
FS2002/flights/myflights folder

It worked fine for me.

Under Aircraft it shows up as "Garbers and Beckert"
GB-1 Parachute

got, not sure what wasn't working the first time.

umm, yeah, you can do some really funky shit with that. I think I musta femured pretty bad...you know when the dust cloud(and large chunks of ground!) engulf the canopy. might try a x-country next time..

still think the best skydiving game was that pilotwings for the super nintendo back in 97 or so.

Yeah, that one kicked ass.

Yes, hook turns at 100 ft are fun, after, you can dig yourself out from the turf. It simulates the drop from canopy stalls very well. I never tried "pilotwings"

I used to have a parachute for FS you could freefall with. Dropping the flaps would "pull." Didn't fly much like a parachute but it was fun. Could even sorta do hook turns. I probably downloaded it from www.flightsim.com.

resource name worked for me

btw, you'll find one can burst into flames if you hit hard enough. musta been that chili I ate for lunch.

Its kinda funny that you can hook in. Well, in a morbid sort of humorous way. Too bad you can't get different canopies, get really high performance canopies and swoop a pond, cattle, etc.

The Canopy looks square, but it will fly at 60 mph and you can swoop any water /pond in the 2002 scenery. You can also
Start from the top of any building. Max altitude to start
is 100,000 Ft but no oxygen provided.

(I use the e-d 3d glasses and it really enhances the ground effect IMO)

So does the canopy respond like the pilot is hypoxic, does the jumper die or do you have to get really drunk before playing to simulate that too?

Holding your breath from 100,000 ft would be boring plus the scenery is fairly flat. Best to simulate at lower altitudes
and get those hook turns out of your system..
