Which resource(s) have this problem? The parachute resource
Describe the bug Skydiving feels completely different in comparison to SA-MP or San Andreas
To Reproduce Jump off a high building in sa-mp or SA, try to skydive and turn around and move forward. Then do the same in MTA, and notice the difference.
Expected behavior Have the parachute behave the same way as in the other mentioned versions. (That also includes skydiving)
Version Multi Theft Auto v1.5.6-release-16588
Additional context If there is a solution to this, I would love to be redirected to it. It's pretty frustrating that it has to behave completely different in comparison to the regular San Andreas game.
Parachute and skydiving features in MTA are realized using a Lua script so it is practically impossible to mimic it in the exact same way, however it can be improved. It would be helpful if you could post a video highlighting the differences you have in mind.
Will do! Thanks for your response, and I understand about the fact that you cant just replicate it.
I'm sorry that it took so long, I am currently going through some personal issues. here are the videos. expected behaviour (sa-mp): https://youtu.be/hasm5wNM9MI
wrong behaviour (mta): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7x0SoFPXkg&feature=youtu.be
as you can see, in mta its completely impossible to move forward, or to rotate fast as shown in the sa-mp video. It's very frustrating and its blocking me from creating maps in this category for sa-mp servers..
I'd argue it's not impossible to mimic, we have the logic from GTA available, we just need to implement it properly.
I had to remove the expected behaviour video due to IP adresses from other players which were shown in the chat
It's in the backlog now, which means it's a task that needs to be worked on!
We'll accept pull requests that aim to provide a more SA-like parachuting experience.

The first video (expected behaviour video) is down. Could you reupload it?

Here's a side-by-side comparison - you can see some slight differences

Are you talking about the full mission script for SA that I believe is somewhere out there on the internet? If so do you know where exactly the relevant code is? @Woovie
R* coded parachute physics in SCM scripting. I enjoy reversing C++, but I can't stand SCM or CLEO. If anybody can rewrite the SCM to readable Lua or C++ even if it doesn't work, I'll implement it properly in C++.
You can also rewrite the code in Lua for moonloader, that would be much better. Just let me know if anyone's interested.
