Daze Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 As the title said, a new and better parachute for 1.0 would be a nice integration since with improved aero a parachute that open "smoothly" would be better. (Image that with less drag you will open it at faster speed i.e. on Duna deorbit)And for you guys, what do you think? A sort of "lite" version of Real Chute would be nice in stock game?

TheMoonRover Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Agreed. The parachute in v0.7.3 opened more smoothly and realistically than they do now, but even so it was still rather sudden.(Incidentally the parachute in v0.7.3 is one of two original parts which still look the same. The other is the AV-R8 winglet. I'm a bit of an expert on things like that, see my signature.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMrBond Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The existing parachute module can do this, I'm not sure why it isn't used, or rather, why its value is set so highIf you want to test this for yourself you can go into your parachute configs and change deploymentSpeed = 1 to deploymentSpeed = 0.01 [Or get the SlowChutes MM patch] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMrBond Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 ...and here I thought it hadn't been fixed because it required more than ten minutes of development time.It's possible that neither the parachute parts nor the module{} have been looked at since 0.16Hopefully they're part of the aero/balance review that's currently happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daze Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 ...and here I thought it hadn't been fixed because it required more than ten minutes of development time.Exactly, it's a shame that Squad is looking every time on new feauture but never re-do the old one since they think that if it was good 2 yrs ago it's still good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderfound Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Stock EVA parachutes would also be nice to see. Cut down on the early game bodycount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalTheFox Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Small parachutes for probes would be nice. And parachute for eva, so we can do awesome stuff or recreate a vostok mission or something. Edited September 16, 2015 by HalTheFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
