Do you parachute?

[M8EO 16]

Hey,

So we've found our server's admin's camp, and it's got a lot of vehicles, and many tents. I was thinking of the most awesome way to attack it, and came up with a helicopter insertion. However, I'm not sure if their camp is in a place accessible by helicopters (I.e. under trees). I was just wondering whether my friends could jump out of the chopper whilst I hover 50 ft above, and parachute down (or vice versa), or whether they will all fall to their deaths.

Thanks :)

You can try, it's good fun, but make sure to pack some morphine....

You have to be at 200ft, and the entire crew (aside from the pilot) have to select "eject", not to be confused with "get out". Then while falling you press P to deploy. :thumbsup:

lolwut P brings up the players list.

OP eject beyond a certain altitude and the parachute opens automatically. if you hit a tree, the game will register it as a landing and remove your chute, making you plummet to the earth.

Unfortunately I am not qualified to answer your query. But I ask that if you do attempt this, get it on film.

Aha alright, we'll have to fly a bit higher xD and yes, i'll have to get sine recording software for this lol. I think we'll do some practise over sea.

Just so I'm sure, is dayz like the armoury on this point? Coz when I jump out on armoury there is a chute, but wasn't sure whether dayz would be the same.

Thanks :)

Droping on sea in dayz is the same as smashing on hard ground

Just do it few kilometers from the shore so spawn-killing-campers won't disturb you.

Just tried it -- died as soon as we pressed eject.

lmao, Im sure it doesnt work,

We (he) had a dude eject out at 350ft, we circled around to go pick him up to see if he could get back in the chopper, about 100m away he died........lol

I have done it successfully, so I know it works.

We were at least 250m in the air, and this was done on a 1.7.2.5 server. Whether those details are necessary, I do not know.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Agreed, I've done it too. Maybe it's bugged out in the new update though.

[M8EO 16]

hmm, well maybe, just to be on the safe side, i could land/hover close to the ground somewhere nearby lol xD

How can you know where the camp is, but not if it's accessible?

Yeh I need some helicopter training
