Heh so one of the fun parts of FC2 is the hang-glider but as Im sure you all know you cant glide for very long and before you know it you are back on the ground.
Anyways there this trainer out there for FC2 (easily found with a Google) that has 13 functions. One of the functions is a funny one - it makes any vehicle you drive bounce about 3 meters into the air. Kinda like an overdone hydraulics kit. Serves no useful purpose. You bounce your vehicle by pressing the / symbol on the numpad.
Anyways I had a brainwave (I think you know whats comin!) and pressed the / key while in a hanglider...and you get an altitude boost! Keep jabbing it and you go higher and higher. Now just fly around. You will of course descend gradually and you can climb now and then by pressing the S key as normal but soon you will run out of energy and thats when you press / to get an alt-boost hyuk hyuk hyuk
You can now glide for as long as you want! Fly high when you see baddies around and they wont notice you. If you are low they will shoot you down.
I've just spent 45 minutes skimming at high speed across the landscape sometimes at grasstop height whizzing between trees, shrubs and rocks its brilliant fun! When youre runnin outta steam just jab / at any time. Keep the sound up cuz you hear the windrush noise as well as the environmental sounds as you skim along!
Again its a useless function but its a change from the repetitive gameplay and will appeal to your flight sim side if youre an FSX nut like me heh.
Tip:There are invisible barriers over all the high mountains and some obstacles. So if you see a road between two walls of rock glide and *follow* the road dont try and fly over the rocks or you will smack the barrier and crash. An extremely annoying design aspect of the game and its NOT a 100% free-roamer because of this. Even on foot you cant scale a small hill to take a better look cuz you hit the barrier!
