Kerbal goes on EVA\r\n - Right-clicking on the command pod allows the active Kerbal to grab a parachute pack (\"Get Personal Parachute\"), which appears as an orange backpack\r\n - Kerbal manually lets go of hatch ladder and falls away from vessel\r\n - Parachute manually triggered (\"Deploy Personal Parachute\")\r\n - Parachute canopy and risers are auto-cut after landing, or manually (\"Cut Personal Parachute\")\r\n - Kerbal can then manually discard parachute backpack (\"Discard Parachute Harness\")\r\n\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n**Personal Parachute - Specifications**\r\n - Pilot-main combo\r\n - 7.24m diameter circular main canopy\r\n - 6 m/s landing speed (2 m/s is more realistic but too slow; Kerbals are probably okay with rough landings)\r\n - One model with one full-deployment animation (no reefing) that plays uninterrupted\r\n    - **t = 0s**: Pilot chute appears, fully inflated\r\n    - **t = 2s**: Pilot chute pulls main canopy and risers out; pilot chute disappears\r\n    - **t = 4s**: Main chute canopy fully inflated\r\n - Main chute risers will converge on a single point from the backpack\r\n    - Having the risers converge on two points would look more realistic, but because KSP cannot simulate proper rope physics, parachute transforms always pivot around a single point \r\n - New combined textures with separate areas for pilot and main canopies\r\n    - RC_canopy_EVA.png: white pilot + main (default, \"civilian\")\r\n    - RC_canopy_EVA_mil.png: white pilot + \"military\" green main  (military variant)\r\n\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n**Parachute Backpack - Specifications**\r\n - Fits on Kerbal model \r\n - Consists of a main chute backpack that partially covers the Kerbal jetpack, a spare chute bag in front of the chest\r\n    - The existing harness on the Kerbal EVA/IVA suit model will suffice.\r\n\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n**Notes**\r\n - There shouldn't be a dedicated parachute container part in the VAB/SPH part list; instead, a ModuleManager patch should just add the chute container PartModule directly to crewed pods\r\n - Some crewed pods should not include chute containers (e.g. FusTek)\r\n - A Kerbal can only grab one backpack at a time (but can discard the current one and grab another one until the pod's chute container runs out)\r\n - Transferring parachutes between Kerbals/vessels is probably too complicated\r\n - Each parachute pack should come with **two** sets of pilot/main parachutes (one primary, one spare)\r\n     - If the primary set is cut whilst the Kerbal is falling, the user should be able to manually trigger the spare\r\n     - Maybe a simple counter for number of chutes remaining will suffice\r\n     - The number of spare chutes cannot be changed (for obvious reasons)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/StupidChris/RealChute/issues/comments/163084814","html_url":"https://github.com/StupidChris/RealChute/issues/23#issuecomment-163084814","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/StupidChris/RealChute/issues/23","id":163084814,"user":{"login":"sumghai","id":4993380,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4993380?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai","html_url":"https://github.com/sumghai","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sumghai/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-09T02:13:11Z","updated_at":"2015-12-09T02:13:11Z","body":"> Oh also, while were at this, a very low priority thing: adding the sort of \"caps\" we talked about for the backpack. Essentially parts of the model that would be hidden when the parachute is deployed. Since parachutes burning up is now a thing, having a spare chute in case of failure would be good, so maybe a cap and an attach point for the spare bag in front too :) But then again, this is very low down the list of priorities, release is still weeks away and I can test everything without those changes.\r\n\r\nAt the moment, the main backpack itself does have a cap, but not the spare bag. \r\n\r\nI can definitely modify the spare bag model to include its own cap, and add the second attachment point for the spare chute.\r\n\r\n> Also, I'll take this opportunity to talk about this: special container parts for parachute spares and EVA chutes. For most needs, pods will do, but the fact is there will be a limited amount of space on each part that can contain chutes. So if a vessel has many very large chutes, additional storage could be needed. This would also be useful for stranded kerbals. Say a mission went south and that the parachutes either burned up or were wasted, and that the vessel has none to get home. Well you could launch an unmanned craft carrying spares or EVA chutes to the stranded missing to allow it to repack it's stuff. Once again, this is of the lowest of priorities, a release could be done without those and they could be added in a later patch. A bit like the original RealChute parts two years ago :P\r\n\r\nLet me get back to you on this one."}}
