    Wingsuit in FC3 and FC4

    is it just me or is the wingsuit less OP in FC4 than it was in FC3?

    In FC3 you could jump down slight hill and glide for miles whereas on FC4 you can only jump off large drops to activate it and it seems to drop quicker

    also on FC3 I managed to pull off landing without using my parachute a few times but this only leads to death on FC4 :P

    its not the same

    FC4 uses a more modified version of the game engine then FC3

    and yes i noted the same thing .. in FC 3 you could land without the chute at times ..FC 4 you DIE on impact ..unless you hit water

    air speed seems different as well as steering between the two games

    According to at least one poster, one of the early patches changed the behavior in a negative fashion.

    He posted what was simply the best wing-suit flights I've seen, and unfortunately so many other people have posted much weaker versions of their own that I haven't found his since seeing it embedded in his post here. This guy would glide across the landscape with his target (bridge) well out of the field of view, and he seemingly flew miles to get to it, at which time he pulled up (something it doesn't do now), and flew between a support and the rock face, THEN flew between angled structural supports on his way out. I'll look for it again here, and if I find it, I'll provide a link.

    Phenomenal.

    yea FC2 fan i saw the same vidz a while back ..but back then i was still trying to use a game pad

    the wingsuit is def different now in FC 4 since the patches ..and in no way even close to FC3

    but yea that guys flights were Epic i saw the same vids and had to give up my game pad ..now i use the wing suit just to get around

    using my KB + mouse ..you really need to use a wingsuit quite a bit it in the Valley OF the Yeti DLC for FC 4

    you can gain altitude if you use dolphin flight

    tap W and S to get a bit more flight with the current version ..an kinda swim thru the air ..try it if you have not .. takes quick taps ...

    I generally find the opposite; if I jump off a 6 foot wall the wingsuit opens and I die when I fly into a wall 4 feet away. If I jump off a high ledge I might as well leave a hasty suicide note behind since it refuse to open.
