some1 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I guess we're supposed to disconnect parachute before slowing to taxi speed?

baltic_dragon Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 You mean AFTER slowing down to taxi speed? You really don’t need to, it can stay behind you. It will float in engine wash until you shout them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sze5003 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I have the parachute bound to my hotas but when I press it I can't tell if the button is actually pressed in or not. I see the cover gets flipped up. I landed and once I pressed it I didn't see it get deployed. I pressed the button again and didn't see a parachute behind me. Does pressing gmit twice jettison it?

baltic_dragon Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I think you need to flip the cover first and only then deploying parachute will work - at least that is how it should work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayos Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 It would be nice if we could push the button a second time to release the chute so we can rearm while the engines are running and take off again. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sze5003 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Yeah even though I have it bound to my hotas you do need to flip the cover first then press the hotas button. It doesn't seem like pressing hotas button twice will open the cover and deploy the parachute. Completed the landing tutorial and realized that it does indeed deploy if the cover is open when you press your bind. It would be nice to have the warthog flaps switch operate all three settings of the flaps. Right now I have it for flaps landing and flaps take off. But I'm not sure if flaps are required to be off before deploying the parachute. I did skid off the runway looking for the flaps off button before I deployed parachute.

some1 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hmmm, mine deploys with single shortcut press, no problems here. Also the is a separate button in the cockpit to cut the parachute loose.

sze5003 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Correct, left of the throttles, red cover.Yup I realize there is a second button to cut it loose. For my settings, I have to open my cover on the button with the mouse first then press my hotas button to deploy it. Not sure why it's like that.
