Description :
This addon may or may not play tricks on your mind or on your computer. Don't blame me but feel free to tell me about
such things so I might change something or even not. BIS can not held responsible for what I did to their parachute
but they kindly allowed me to release the mutant.

The parachute was tested only for players starting outside of vehicles and didn't show big issues on a dedicated server.
The AI is not able to operate the chute correctly (but they should survive a jump with it).

How to use: write into the init of each unit that should use this chute:

dump = [this] execVM "\RAS_Parachute\scripts\init.sqf"

over the variable "RAS_AutoOpenChuteHeight" you can set the height in which the
chute deploys automaticly, by default this is set to 50 meters.

1. Then jump out of the airborne vehicle and you will start freefalling.
2. The chute will open if you hit the action "Open Chute" or when you are under the height set in "RAS_AutoOpenChuteHeight"
3. You can steer the chute with WASD.
NOTE: Do not use ALT + direction for viewing the chute in 3rd person view.. you might confuse the steering system which
then might stop working (which is bad when you fly fast forward and you try to land).
4. To land decelerate the chute as much as possible before touching down on the ground, else injuries might range from broken
legs to a bit dead.
5. "Cute Chute" directly after landing, else the chute might pull you a bit over the island and due to an non yet fixed bug you
might die horribly after a short distance and we wouldn't want that now would we?

Credits:
BIS for the parachute base model
Mapfact for testing the thing
MCPXXL (of Mapfact) to remind me roughly 2015 times that I promised at the last Mapfact Workshop to provide him with a
steerable chute... (Bastard!!)

Known Issues:
- Option to deploy the chute does not show up after jumping (use the enter on the keypad to try to force to show up)
- You first see an open parachute, before it closes for freefall
- You die very fast incase the chute pulls you over the surface of the island.

Have fun
