    If you missed it there are 2 new videos on their website that show actual gameplay. http://d3company.com/img/tmp/Comp1_3.wmv http://d3company.com/img/tmp/BaseAG2211.wmv -- Renaud -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  2. How about now? -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  3. No pictures yet from the event? -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  4. Thanks Andy! Next time I'll try to score the gate more often ;-) -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  5. Thanks for the pictures.... I didn't even realize we were spied by paparazies So you like the way I run through the course to make the finish line This event was really good for me I only had 10 jumps on that canopy (use to fly a Stiletto). It was the perfect event to dedicate 6 jumps on to swooping. Even if I verticaled the 2 distance runs, I did pass the gate for the accuracy but never made it out of the no mans land... Well like I said it was great learning experience and loads of fun! Thanks all see you next round -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  6. The video report on this website show a little more unseen footage: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/04/28/earlyshow/main1556459.shtml -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  7. Hey Kritter you can talk to me about it next you see me at the DZ. -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  8. Imagine a position like ski jumper (distance)... -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  9. I just had a weird vision that I wanted to share to see reactions. Here it is: Imagine wearing a wingsuit and mini-skies. Going down the slop as fast as you can, arms tucked in and legs together... Now that you are building speed spread your arms and legs and take off It might need to be tested close to a nice high cliff first Anyway may be looking at SoulFlyer video and thinking of Jeb at the same time I thought instead of trying to land a wingsuit why not trying to take off

    I'm not sure if that something you consider but you could make the format of the 3d world public and then get peolple create new "map" for the game. Somekind of SDK if you will. Like you see people creating new Quake maps you could imagine peolple creating new model map for the game. -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."

    It looks like in this demo video the jumper pull with his left hand.... I would say most jumper pull with the right but I know at list 2 that pull lefty.... -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  13. Just watched it. It's a really good video with for once some more objects than KL, Norway and all the usual objects. Well put together. I recommend it for a good time! -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  14. Oh My God! Just my impression on that suit after 2 flight last weekend. I'm sure there is nothing I'm going to say that wasn't said before but here is my review: First off the suit was fitting me perfectly thanks to my body double DingoDave! The suit was really easy to fly right at the door and I really like the wings greappers. Overall the first impression is OMG I'm moving forward like crazy. I've never covered that much distance in a wingsuit even with an S3. I was curious if it was because I was flying downwind so I turn around and OMG I'm still cruising like nuts. The funny thing is that because of that massive forward speed the jump was pretty loud. Any way the part that I was the most scared off was pull time. That was my first time using the base pouch and I was a little nervous about it. After a lot's of practice pull on the ground I was comfortable. The pull went great and felt really natural, I add a nice on heading opening and got my arms free by the time the slider went down. On my second jump I focused more on getting an efficient flight and end up covering even more ground and an average of 44mph. After that second flight I felt my arms were really tired. I've never experienced that feeling in any other suit. But this is so worth it. Conclusion I really like this suit easy to fly, lot's of speed! The only downside is the price but that's true for all high performance suit. Thanks again DingoDave!!!
  15. What do you use to capture on your computer? -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  16. Interesting I remember trying this and couldn't get the video through. In what mode are you doing this: VCR? If I remember when plugin in the Firewire it owerwrite the input from the VHS on the Video input and you get a blue screen. Plus how do you capture on the computer, most of the tool I'm using need to control the tape to start the capture. Thanks. -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  17. I'm not sure asking some one at Aerodyne or Sponsord by Aerodyne will give me a fair opinion -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  18. Does any one jumped both Mamba and Katana and can tell us the differences, pro and cons comparing those two canopies.... Thanks -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  19. Thanks for all the reply. I got some one in my area that contacted me to borrow his suit! Now I'm all exited to try that V1 in the AIR.... -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  20. I was wondering how I could demo a V1? Are there demo suits available? I'm 5'9 - 160.... Thanks -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  21. That works too, but depending of the area they don't have the elevations data. -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  22. Try using this site: http://www.topozone.com/ I found quite a few interesting sites in my area, I think it should work for you as well. Have fun, stay safe. -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  23. Every one could have a green ribbon (or other color) like on the attached picture and talk about equal access. "Support Base Jumping" -- Renaud -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  24. Looks like even more than what I was asking for... -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
  25. Looking at the thread about the "Audible Glide Angle" I was wondering if there is any device that show your fall rate in real time. It would be like an altimeter but read you fall rate speed. -- Renaud SMA #9 "Mind is like parachute. It only functions when it's open."
