Paraglider, wingsuit and base jump

What gear do I need, and how do I get it?

• Outfit slot: a wingsuit (Ember, Glacier or Night) or a camouflage (forest, desert or snow, no wings). It is painted over your skin and your armour.
• Equipment slot: up to 8 paragliders (Classic, Rainbow or Midnight). One canopy per jump, the next one is the next in the pack.
• Sewing machine: a wingsuit takes 4 silk or cotton fabric, 2 raw fibres and 2 string (15 s). A paraglider takes 6 silk fabric, 2 fibres, 4 string and 1 hide (20 s). Fabric comes from the loom, string from spiders, fibre from sheep, fields or spiders.

How does the wingsuit fly?

• Fall more than 4 metres with at least 3 metres of empty space below, and the wingsuit spreads by itself: arms and legs out, fabric taut.
• Your look steers. Look down to dive: you lose height and gain speed. Look up to turn that speed back into height. Your body banks into the turns.
• The glide is about 10 m forward for 1 m down (31 m/s at 10 degrees below the horizon).
• Hold Shift to fold the wings and fall head down; let go and they spread again. Press V to change the camera view, including a chase view behind you.
• It cannot land. Touching the ground in a wingsuit hurts: your vertical speed and 60% of your forward speed count. A wall hurts too, at 3 health per m/s above 7 m/s.

How do I open and fly the paraglider?

1. 1

   Open high

   In the air, once you are falling (about 1.5 m of fall, or 5 m/s down), press Space. The pilot chute leaves your hand, the wing comes out and inflates over about a second, with an opening shock. An altimeter shows height, speed and sink rate, and tells you to open under 150 m.

2. 2

   Fly with the lines

   Your mouse keeps looking around; the keys pull the lines (table below). At rest it flies at about 10 m/s and sinks 1.5 m/s.

3. 3

   Land slowly

   Pull both brakes (S) just before the ground.

4. 4

   Or cut away

   Press Space twice under the wing to release it. It flies off on its own and is lost; you drop away in a plain fall (your wingsuit spreads again) and can open the next paraglider.

How do I land without damage?

• Under a paraglider the ground forgives up to 12 m/s of forward speed: you just land walking. What hurts is your vertical speed, plus any forward speed above 12 m/s.
• A normal trim landing (1.5 m/s of sink) costs nothing. Landing out of a spiral dive does.
• Leave the spiral early and flare with S just above the ground.
• Landing under a canopy packs it back in the bag, nothing lost. Only a canopy you cut away is lost.
