What is a good technique to get as far as possible with the Plane? [duplicate]

I love being as far as possible from the plane path. And sometimes, the couple of houses I want to go to are just a little too far.

So what are techniques to optimize how far you go when freefalling/using the parachute?

Solution 1:

What I do to get the maximum horizontal movement after jumping out of the plane is move my mouse upward so that my character is spread out completely (while holding W obviously). This will slow your decent down to the slowest speed possible since your body is providing more resistance against the air (as it would in real life), while maximizing the distance you move across the map.

Once my parachute deploys, I hold the W key in to keep my speed up, while also moving horizontally. This however will make you reach the ground quicker. I find that pressing the W key and releasing it at about half second intervals allows you to keep your speed up while also lowering the rate at which I fall to the ground.

Combing these two techniques allows me to get pretty far away from the plane's original path. I would say it is certainly a good way to get some distance between you and the plane's path.
