The comprehensive free-fall skydiver model by [http://www.flightgear.org/tours/sky-diving-visualization/ Creare] is now included in [[FGAddon]]. In addition a ram air parachute flight-dynamics model has been added. This means the model has two separate Flight Dynamics Models in one package which are both active when the parachute is deployed. With this combination you can now start a free fall decent at 12,500 feet, manoeuvre your way down to about 2,000-2,500 feet, deploy the parachute with the {{key press|D}} key and then glide your way down. At about 50 feet pull '''down''' full to slow down the decent and gently touch the ground. A possible next step which has been suggested is to include the [[Walk view|Walker]] model. | The comprehensive free-fall skydiver model by [http://www.flightgear.org/tours/sky-diving-visualization/ Creare] is now included in [[FGAddon]].
