You can choose appearance for the character, using for this purpose buttons (3) and (4). You can change character predisposition to one of four skills, using sliders (5): • "Perception" allows to use effects of time, actually, increasing your reaction to events. Completely having removed predisposition to this skill, you will rely only on own reaction. • "Endurance" shows character sensitivity to strong overloads, traumas and a pain. Strong overloads appear at the moment of canopy deployment, and the subsequent painful syndrome weaken abilities of the character. Therefore, this skill is very important even for a simple survival in this sports! • "Tracking" reflects ability of of free falling control. On this skill depends, how it will be effective to track (that is to move horizontally during free falling). • “Rigging” is a set of skills intended of use and improvement of parachute system. This skill is very important even for a simple survival in this sports! You can disable malfunctions simulation, by switching off a check box (6).

Equipment functions. 7. Advice on game. In career mode, you can disable a pause at events, pressing and keeping pressed “Left shift”. Improvement of skill occurs automatically, during that moment when you use this skill. So, for example, improvement of endurance occurs during the moment when the character experiences a painful shock after deployment a canopy. The effect of slow timeflow depends on a level of adrenaline. You can raise a level of adrenaline, having stood some time near edge of an exit-point. The delay is the time of free falling beginning from the moment of a jump. Duration of a delay determines how to stow a parachute system. The slider exists to stage the opening of your canopy and henceforth make the openings softer. In
general, all freefall delays that are less than three or four seconds are done slider down. Beyond four seconds, the use of a slider (slider up) becomes a necessity in order to soften the opening. Pilotchute is a small auxiliary parachute used to deploy the main. The choice of the sizeof a pilotchute, as a rule is done depending on duration of free falling: • 0–2 sec delays: 48”, 45” • 2–4 sec delays: 42”, 40” • 4–7 sec delay and wingsuit deployment: 38” • 8+ sec delays: 36”, 32” Attention! Installation of the pilotchute which is not corresponding to conditions of a jump can lead to malfunctions of parachute system. 8. Increase of game performance and solution of problems.. In case you had problem with display of characters in game, redefine the skin-shader in the "Launcher" application. "4x" shader is compatible with all videocards, supporting vertex shaders of v1.1. You can increase game performace, having switched off post-effects, and also having lowered details of the image, in the "Launcher" application. 9. Technical support.
