I completely forgot about this. It is kind of fun though, especially since you can carry it around in a backpack.

Have fun

Managed to build a small basket around the prop, safety first!

HO BOY!!!!

Since I PPG in real life, this is like a early Christmas present.I'm also switching to trike..LOL...can't wait to put this in to a mission. (I remember an old SF type movie where they exfil with a PPG...hhahahah...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjQijy67mlA)

THANK YOU MAN!!!

 

EDIT: it's possible to have AI to PPG?

Your welcome!

 

The AI just goes crazy in these things : ).

It is very tricky for me to adjust the flight model and get something that feels real and not like normal aircraft.

If I make it behave more like a fixed wing they would be able to cope, but then the fun would go out of the window for us humans. They do stay in the air a little better in the current version I have right now though.

How do I land this thing?  All I mannage do do is to crash and die...some way to stop it dead ? Just crashing..

 

Btw,could you put this in a Weapon Crate? For spies,shot down pilots and so on.tnx

Practise, it is not easy to fly and that is intended.

There are weapon crates already. Even in the first release ; )

Search the equipment/boxes for para.

So cool Sabre. Love these things! It's my understanding that several countries around the world have begun to adopt these vehicles as potential transportation for Special Forces troops.

LOL...just come in fast..at about 3 ft pull hard on brakes...touch the ground like a feather!

Easy if you know how to do it..

 

@Sabe:

I'm having a blast..hahahhaha...would be a pain to shape the wing more "wedgy" like I have IRL????

 

 

Yes..that's me...

After a little more tweaking the AI can sort of fly, at least they do not fly straight into the ground immediately : )

If you go too fast the chute will collapse (in next update).

Maybe that is not 100% realistic, but a nice workaround to explain why you crash if going too fast.

 

Thanks for the vids Zagor,

I'd need a new model for a parachute like that. If I get hold of one we can think about it.

Changing the current Arma 2 model did not work for me.

Hey man, no problem for wing shape. Too much pain to change that..As far as the  flying dynamics of a PPG, if I may, I can give you some suggestion to make it behave more like it.

For instance, speed is based on the wing shape and characteristics, while the engine is used mainly for climbing....adding power will only increase your climb rate, (so you NOT gonna go faster, but higher) while your descent rate is influenced by the wing efficiency.. In short..when you want to climb,you add power..when you want to go down, you idle the engine and your weight will make you descent...pull on right brake you turn right, same for left, pull both brake you break the wing..or stall it if you insist. ;)

Update 1.2 out on steam workshop,

just minor tweaks and that new animation iirc.

 

Feedback is always welcome,

For Arma this is a fixed wing aircraft (uav/jet).

So it behaves like a jet losing power if you turn the engine off. No way around I know of.

Same situation for my glider aircraft. There is no lift to drag ratio (glide ratio) we could set.

 

I can not disable ailerons altogether or it would be very hard to control, I just decided too make them rather weak.

Quite amazing A3 works so well with slow flying aircraft like this tbh : )

I'm good the way it is buddy...was just chipping in on the feedback fever :D

I do understand the limit of Arma engine and behavior...but GOOD JOB on your side indeed!!

Sabre stole my thunder a little bit when he made some country parachutes :), but here's some other parachute liveries I've made:

 

(Spoiler so I don't spam up the thread)

I have a few more I'm working on. I just need to adjust the colours a bit, since in Arma they kind of blend together,
