Construct your own parachutes and improve your flying and landing skills in this rich simulation toolkit.
Volo Parachutes will become part of the game Volo Airsport in the future. For now it is available as standalone experimental release.
This first experimental release has plenty of unfinished goofs and bugs, but here's what's already in:
A playful and intuitive way to learn a lot about an incredibly exciting side of modern day skydiving
A fully parametric canopy design system: Change the size, shape, and angles of the parts and your bad ass new canopy into flight immediately
Detailed ram airfoil simulation model, modeling lift, drag, pressurisation, pendulum effects on a per-cell basis, each linked to the pilot with individually simulated lines and controlled lines.
Control system that gives you direct and simultaneous interaction with weight shift, and the pull applied on individual control lines.
A tool for generating funny physics glitch gifs to post on Twitter
We think that's pretty cool, and we're anxious to see the things you'll make with it and the lines you'll fly with it. Show us some videos!

Take to the skies and fly past mountains in a wingsuit. Try to hug the cliffs at over 250 km/h or cruise at high altitudes and admire the scenery.
Your body and gear are fully physically simulated. You fly by controlling your character's muscles directly, which changes your pose, which interacts with the air around you. You can see, hear, and feel every gust of wind as you pass it.
The current version already has a lot to play around with:
A single, finely tuned wingsuit to fly with
A huge landscape inspired by the Swiss and French Alps, with lots of lines to try
Dynamic time and weather that is also completely customizable
Multiple camera perspectives (including first-person view)
Highly configurable graphics and input settings
Oculus Rift support
HTC Vive support
Time Trials that push your skills to the limit
Gamepad or Joystick recommended!
