Parachutes - Page 2

I have sky dived before. It's very easy to orient yourself before your parachute opens. In a chair it is probably harder, but we aren't strapped to a chair when we exit a plane in this game.

The OP says you want us to be unable to open the parachute under a certain altitude. Based on this, I assumed you were talking about jumping 5 feet, and opening your parachute during that fall.

My angry response was towards you questioning my ability to comprehend written word.

Let other people decide if they want to respect me or not. I did consider the repercussions, thats why I censored my response. Do not tell me to keep my temper under control, I can do anything with my temper that I want. If a moderator doesn't like it, fine, but it isn't your place to threaten me with 'repercussions'.

to represent ejecting the most realistically the chute should open upon emediate exit from the aircraft and never for a chopper pilot as they have alreday been chopped to bits after being silly enough to eject from a chopper.

Doesn't the chute open automatically if an altimeter attached to the pilot reads below a certain point, but above that point, they have to pull the chute themselves?

I mean, at a certain altitude, the parachute would need to open or the pilot would hit the ground too fast. But, if when ejecting from the plane, the pilot is put into a rapid spin, it would make more sense for them to decide when the safest time to open the chute is, like when they stop spinning at such a rapid rate. If they don't open the chute before a certain altitude, it opens automatically no matter the position they are in.

nope chutes automatically open after a couple of seconds not from a barrometer.
