Controllable square parachute is Out

[TacMedic]

I downloaded the addon last week and me and some buddies tried it out in MP, it works great!!!

We set up a heli pad on the desert Island all all tried to get closest, I am proud to say I won landing only 2 feet away!

This is a great addon! I only wish cusor keys could be used instead of the action menu! maybe OFP 2 will include this!!

I tried using this but am having problems.

I have a radio trigger to call a script which then ejects the player, creates a 21vbglider at his position then moves him into the drivers seat. The chute opens and the player is put in it but I cant steer it as there is nothing on the action menu. The chute justs rolls around, tipping forwards with the player.

Any suggestions?

I have tried creating a mission where I eject from a heli, i eject then am instantly on the ground, no parachute fall.

This is with the init.sqs containing the line from the readme.

How far off is version 2?

  the corinthian just type this in the init feild of the player
[] exec "\21vbGlider\script\paradrop.sqs"  I set my vehicles flyn height to 900 m and then eject manually but it doesn't work with AI . this is the coolest thing you can glide for up to mearly 2 klms. By the way ai vehicles act a little retarded at 900m. test it out by jumping into a helo as the pilot then bailing out

Spooky I have already tried it via the players init string and also by using an init.sqs (but not both together).

where is this init.sqs file?

Where can I download the file?

Here's a suggestion for the next version: main rig failure. Right now, the reserve chute isn't much use, but if the main rig could randomly fail (say, every 1 in 100 jumps), then it'd be great to have to cut away and pull the reserve  ;D
