    instead you would be a nice target for archers.

    although i dont like the transport idea. to much weight and you will drop like a stone.

    anyway, is there an online game with such a feature? ^^
    flight time is only limited by the height your gliding from, and carrying things would be done with a large packs or what not, not storing things on the glider it's self.

    paragliding is actually a popular sport and in mountainous areas i'm sure you'll find a community of them. all it is your doing is gliding down like a paper airplane from somewhere high up, if you know anything bout anything when it comes to aviation this is chump work. another form of paragliding tho is just using a sports chute and is more "safe" but a lot more difficult to build than a paraglider

    it wont fit the setting. ok i think this everyones own association.
    i dont think that mankind will only gathering food and try to survive the wilderness. at some time they will look for fun, action or just a way to outclass theire enemies. maybe due to aircontroll.

    btw humans tried for decades to fly (look at leonardo da vinci, wright brothers)
    i think they will try again

    but thats my opinion

    That may be so; however, I don't see it happening anytime soon.

    I like the idea. I am sure the region has atleast a few paragliding clubs. So if it could be put in the game I see no reason why we couldnt find the right parts by scavanging.

    wouldn't it be nice to take some trash (metalpoles, cloth and strings or somthing), put them together to a paraglider, run towards the edge, jump and just fly a few minutes?

    weeeh
    WOW that is the last thing this game needs right now....

    it's a feature i'd like to see in the future.

    for now a little bit more things to do were great

    If it was in the game. I think it would be best if it could be used once then destroyed. Like you gather the material. Then later on if you need a quick getaway. you assemble it quick then take off off of a cliff. Then kinda crashland and it be destroyed. Just would give you enough of a head start to get away from say a party of 5 or so chasing you.

    why have it destroyed just repack it then whenever ur up high somewhere use it

    I think it shouldn't be destroyed upon the first use but after X amount of flying time, so if it goes all the way down when you're in the air you plummet to your death. I would think maybe 5 minutes total flying time or something to that effect would be a good amount of time..
