    Wingsuit Frustration

    So I keep ending up as street pizza. I can't find any instructions and nothing I've tried works. In FC3 I activated the damn thing all the time, often unintentionally. Is something different in 4? I unlocked the Wingsuit in the store but I can't get it to work. At all. Shouldn't it be as simple as running off something high and holding the sprint key? Am I missing something?

    Cheers

    You have to hit the sprint key after you've jumped off the edge, holding it won't work. Unless you've disabled it, should see a pop-up once you've jumped off the cliff. L3 (left stick) or Shift key are the defaults, I believe.

    Edit: Did you buy the wingsuit yet? You get it for free eventually, but at first you have to purchase it from the store - just unlocking it there isn't enough.

    Thanks for the reply, Kristoferen,

    I purchased it in the store. Spent the K25,000, and that's exactly what I've been doing. I jump off a high place and then hit and hold shift. I've disabled all the prompts, so I'll turn them back on and experiment, but I did expect it to work like FC3. But to confirm: I DON'T need to wait for a certain plot event to use it?

    I'm a dunce. It won't work in a safe zone. I kept starting in Banapur and trying to wingsuit before I was clear. Short version: if you can't aim a weapon, you can't wingsuit. Thanks again. Cheers.

    Out of curiosity, did you use any mods in FC3? There were several popular mods which made the wingsuit work like you say... you just sprint off a cliff and hold shift. It was easier and more reliable than the default method.

    Now that you mention it, I was using the hardcore version of Ziggy's Mod.

    I have the same problem when using the wingsuit especially in one of Willis mission at the Himalayan. I just cannot the wingsuit while in the air and my character just fly off the screen with distorted graphics. Try using the keyboard and gamepad and both having the same problem.
