Hang Glider

The Hang Glider is an airborne transportation craft used to traverse terrain in Far Cry, Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Far Cry 4.
== Far Cry ==
The Hang Glider is first seen after Jack Carver destroys the main communication hub of the Mercenary
forces. Doyle informs him that the mercenaries sometimes use gliders for transportation around the islands. Upon being asked if he has any experience, Carver replies that he never used a hang glider but will learn quickly if people are shooting at him.
It appears only in three levels: Pier, Rebellion, and Boat. In multiplayer, it can be found on the map mp_px_airstrip.
== Far Cry 2 ==
The Hang Glider is quick and silent and allows the player to land in areas without being seen or heard from the air. However, flying directly over enemies will attract their attention — and due to its construction it offers no protection from enemy gunfire. If the player is shot while on a hang glider, spiralling uncontrollably and crashing is the usual outcome, injuring or killing the player.
There are many techniques needed to use the glider effectively. Using the glider at night when there are updrafts allows it to stay airborne longer. Be gentle with the steering of the glider to minimize the drop suffered by the glider. Be careful not to repeatedly overturn, as panicking will almost assuredly lead to a crash. Press "W" (X if on PlayStation) (A if on Xbox)to descend and "E" ( Square if on PlayStation) (X if on Xbox)to let go. Also, in several locations, the player must use a hang glider to retrieve an otherwise unreachable diamond suitcase. Among the 221 diamonds, 3 are only accessible using a hang glider.

Gliders are flying vehicles located in high placed around the Rook Islands (e.g. on cliffs or mountains) and are a good way of getting directly from A to B provided the distance is not too far.
Be careful dismounting though, if you are too high up you will either injure yourself or die unless you are over water. If you have a Wingsuit you can survive, so long as you detach far above the ground.
For your amusement you can use a Glider (in combination with the Wingsuit) to 'land' on the top of a Radio Tower, thus sparing the effort of climbing it. Note that this is a very dangerous option, though.
There are parts of the map where you can find upwinds to enlarge the time and distance you can fly.
== Far Cry 4 ==
Hang Gliders function the same as before, but due to the mountainous and highly vertical nature of Kyrat, they find a lot more use. Amusingly, while playing in co-op, it is possible to stand on top of your partner's hand glider while it is in flight, and even shoot weapons and not fall off. Howerver, walking onto the wings will make you fall off; to stay on, you have to stand right in the middle where the wooden pole is.
One thing to note is that you can smash a hang glider into the ground at full speed and not die, most of the time you will only lose one or two health bars. However, you need to aim straight down and hold it, otherwise you will let go in the air and fall to the ground. This can make getting out of a glider much easier than just dropping out and wingsuiting.
