Title: HALO PARACHUTING
Post by: skydognz on 01 Jan 2003, 04:47:48

Hmm..ok, this will baffle everyone!..

Can we develop a way of 'jumping' from a C130 (ramp down) into freefall..(ie; Special Forces HALO soldiers).

Then at a given height (3,500 ft) a Sqaure RAM AIR Parachute is deployed in which you steer him into the predetermined Landing Point (DZ).

I would use the mission editor to create the route from the airfield to the Point of Exit and Landing Point (DZ) then the return flight back to the airfeild for the C130. To determine the set altitude of say 15,000 feet would be a problem to establish??

Seems all a big task, and it's proberly not going to be able to be done.

I was working on a HALO script that used some clever animations during freefall.  It sets the man off jumping.  He falls in a straight in position for that added speed, then he spreads out and then releases the chute.  The chute slowing him down gradually instead of the usual stopping him instantly :)

Anyway, here are the scripts and sample mission I was working on.  Somone else should feel free to develop this further.

As for a square canoy, that would have to be made in an addon.

Does anyone know the ceiling height (max height) that you can go in altitude in the OFP Engine? (in feet)..

i have gotten [NAA] Marine's F-15 to go up to approx 11 000 something Meters. which is approx 33 000 feet. i couldnt get the exact numbers cause i just wasnt paying close attention but after that u immediately get the green screen and die

Thats Cool!..I'm keen to do some ultra high HALO stuff from a C130 (hopefully)...30,000ft would be awesome...

cheers
