Can you manually open a parachute in this? if so then how.

[LeMieux]

When I reenter the atmosphere I allways enter the atmosphere, stop burning then my parachute does'nt open in time leaving me to fall to my death, how can I fix this?

[Supra_Oatser]

You can edit the deploy altitude by right clicking the chute and moving the slider.

[LeMieux]

yeah I did that but its still too late

[LeMieux]

or the parachute is too late

[Mango]

wait until the parachute icon turns white.
if it's red or yellow the parachute will be destroyed
you might need drogue chutes to slow down initially

Acctually I did it but it was still too late when it turned white

Don't leave home without a drogue chute.

Also make sure your angle of entry is leaving you enough time in the upper atmosphere to let friction help you slow down.

and I already do that but I'm thinking of attaching an engine on the bottom of the capsle thing or what ever you call it to slow down

nvm on what I said

Yeah if you enter the apnosphere too steep you will either burn up or crash.

If your parchutes still aren't working at 5000 meters your going way too fast buddy, you need to skim the atmosphere more instead of going straight down.

I never thought of that

Get your Peri to about 45K and let the atmosphere do the rest, thats asuming your Apo isnt over 100K and you will land nice and softly with your parachutes intatct :)
