Largest PC?
I'm working on a base jumping game, and was wondering what is the largest Pilot Chute you can get?

So far I have 32,36,38,40,42,48, is there anything larger than 48"?

48 is the largest stock size that I am aware of. I know of several manufacturers who've made larger ones (52, mostly) by request.

Why do you need so many sizes? 32, 38, 42, and 46 would work fine. Or even 36, 42, 48.

FYI The game I'm working on is 'BASE Web Edition' by D3. Those sizes were already added, I'm just doing it to offer more features in the game.

If that's the case, you ought to offer different types of PC's, rather than just throwing in more sizes. The difference in materials and construction techniques is much larger than the difference in sizes, in some cases.

Thats A good idea, I can easily change how much drag each pilot chute has, so people can try out different types.

i have been using my 52" quite much recently in our objects (very low ones) as an backup for SL...and it has worked fine.
you can get as big or small as you want, just order it :=)

I had a 54" made by JD Walker around 1989, a friend re discovered it in his attic and returned it to me. F111 with a single attachment point.
