Paragliding just won't work

[hvaleksd]

I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I just got the paraglider and I can't use it right. I press z after jumping, but I just kind of float down, I don't seem to "glide" like the NPC showing me how to use it. I jump, press z, and then s to stabilize. I get that this is supposed to feel more realistic than say, breath of the wild, but I just can't get this stupid thing to work right and I keep dying by "going out of the mission area" because I'm not as higher as her.

Any help?

Maybe get a running start? I kinda breezed thru that mission but it does suck until you can upgrade it.

That's what I am trying to do, I even jumped at the highest area (there's a bit of a wall you can jump from to get extra height", I just can't seem to "glide" anywhere, I just kind of slowly sink down.

I'm just glad at least someone also agrees the paraglider kinda sucks and i'm not just being stupid.

don't forget to pull back on left stick. On keyboard I guess S to level off. unupgraded it very short range so try and go over vents. Also you can just hit the gilder bottom while standing on an active vent to get thrown up which is handy to start

yeah its deff bad lol. Maybe while you still on the vent going up hold W to try and get some momentum maybe?

the glider is absolutely POG,u clearly do something wrong here.

Thanks saice, I'm using a keyboard and I press s to level off as soon as I can "by pressing z", tried to do this at an even higher place and with a running jump. I can't get the stupid thing to even get to the vent, I just float down, like a rock, whenever I pull the thing out. I'm having better luck jumping, pressing the z key, then s, then kicking to get further, but it's still not enough to cross to the building.

first thing u should do is rebind the paraglider because Z on keyboard is more than useless.

I get that I might be doing something wrong, but I've been doing very well up til now (I've even activated all windmills and nearly 100% the previous area). If i'm having such a hard time, it just seems like this could have been easier to handle?

[MRV1N]

keep holding W when u open the glider then press S to level yourself,and there u go.

I finally got it by press and holding "w" "s" and "z", I'm not a fan of this mechanic

It took me aswell time to figure it out. I failed also a couple of times. Try to, When you jump and press Z as soon as the glider openes. Press also 1x left SHIFT it gives you a boost. Ofc you can press shift as many times as you wish but carefull with your stamina.

Additional the stamina full refils when you gliding close enough to a vent which is going to boost you again up. and yeah the ''S'' key you know already for what this good for :)
Hope it helped!

Greetings!

the key is to hold W first,and as i said before rebind it from Z to V and it will feel way better,good luck my friend.

It's dumb key choice I know the Z and C are right under the hand so you can'r steer and hold S down at the same time with the A W D keys, it maybe better on a game pad.
I'm still testing different key binds to see what is easier.

Yeah tbh the glider and how to work it sucks. I been also falling, dying and failing using this thing. When I jump in the air and try to press Z sometimes it does not even deploy until after I jumped for some time. To a point im tapping the Z button to get it to work which causes him to close it as well. And S to stabilize is a very difficult button to work with when you use your movement controls beforehand.

The Parkour / Paragliding challenges are horrible with this. I am going to try different key bindings but overall how the devs worked this para-glider mechanic is not very intuitive.
I will say once you upgrade it to do the Shift boost it helps, but still not implemented well.
