i kno this has been asked before but is it possible that when u enter the glider u are "reloaded" a parachute?

forgive me if its been asked before i just dont remember

guys didnt parachute out of the glider. they "landed" it into the ground and walked out the door.

And how would you crash into the goony bird when its towing you and going faster then you?

Are you referring to the part where I asked how they would prevent people from "piling" into the C-47? What I meant was that if people had parachutes wouldn't they just get into the C-47 and jump from that instead of bothering to get into a glider. I was curious as to how they would they would stop that.

oh, lol.

I thought u ment some noob piloting the glider into the bird towing it.

I'm assuming they wont have parachutes, (or only paratroops can go in the c-47) or it will be map specific (wich is very likely)

Of course, I admit I'm getting my info from films here, but I had the impression gliders were a British baby.

Or not?

Gliders were used by both US GIR and British GIR (Glider Infantry Regiments) personnel.

and like Simons said you might be thinking of the Horsa Glider used by the British 1st Airbourne:

Outstanding to se this added to FH as it is truly realistic

- The Gliders actually exsisted and some these Gliders are now in West Texas (Lubbock) to be exact - (I live near there too)

The Lubbock International Airport actually has a museum with several of the authentic gliders restored. So NO - this was NOT just a British Thing.

Here is a link to the Museums Website - The Display is absolutely cool!

As for Towing? - This was already being done with a Japanese Bomber in one of the FH .5D Pacific Isle maps correct? Iwo Jima - or something I can't remember/check - (since my BF 1.5 upgrades all my FH mods are hosed) and YES - I have installed the Hotfix/patch on both my Servers and my personal game on my personal pc.

"sigh" - no luck so figured I'd wait for the release of .6 - and NOW with the addition of this Glider and the many other awesome additions, I like everyone else here REALLY am anxiously anticipating the moment I can get my FH servers back up and flying that Glider
