Hello Pilots,

We just released a new test version of the upcoming parachutes update for Volo Airsport. This update is packed with awesome features:
Parachute flight simulation with all the depth of the wingsuit flight model you know and love
A rich editor for designing your very own parachutes
In-flight deployment of your parachute, with the ability to switch back to wingsuiting at any moment
Use 'T' or 'Right Shoulder button' to toggle
Numerous performance tweaks and improvements
Go to game in your Steam library -> Select Volo Airsport -> Right click properties -> select Betas tab -> select 'test' to download the new update.
If you haven't done so already check out our development diary on YouTube. In it you can see how the parachute release came to be, what considerations we made while building this update, and many more things.
Please let us know what you think about this release on the forums. Also, if you find bugs, please report them there.
Happy new year!

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!
