Parachutes are used for troop insertion on two maps: FLS Assault and JRTC Farm Raid.
Before playing these maps I suggest you complete both lessons in the Airborne School located in the Adavnced Training Menu, and are thoroughly familiar with all material presented therein. Don't hesitate to repeat a lesson if you are even a little unsure of something; it may save your life!
Parachute Deployment in JRTC Farm Raid
You will see there are three possible exit points:
A. Left Side Door
B. Right Side Door
C. Rear Hatch
Ignoring the right side door, consider your two remaining options.
- The left side door will make you land near the left corn field.
- The rear hatch will make you land in various places in the center field.
More accurately, jumping off to the left from the rear hatch will bring you closer to the forward center field.
The Jump Procedure
- Don't use night vision goggles, as they will obscure your view of the ground.
1. Select your jump location as mentioned above.
2. Position yourself at the edge of your desired jump location and face the direction in which you wish to jump.
3. Press and hold the "Forward" key until you clear the aircraft and hear your parachute unfurl.
4. You should not manipulate your parachute until you can actually see the ground.
5. Once you establish visual contact with the ground, adjust your position if needed with the movement keys, otherwise, look straight and downwards for the remainder of your descent.
6. Wait until you can see individual plants, then flare by pressing and holding the "E" key.
7. If your flare was good, you should briefly roll on the ground. Use this time to activate your night vision goggles.
8. When you stand up after rolling, crouch or go prone and activate your weapon.
