Chamber

The glass stops at the top and so does the wind, which means the way out is up. Wind it up, go small, and you can shoot clean out of the tube. The moment you clear the lip the air lets go and you arc over and drop back in. A tall chamber gives you the run-up; a short one puts the lip within reach of a good de‑arch.

Tunnels are sold by the diameter of the glass. 10 ft is a tight old tube where the wall is always right there, 14 ft the common modern one, 16.5 ft and up a big-way chamber. The wind is the same either way: a wide chamber is not a gentler one, just a roomier one. Drag it while you are flying and the walls move around you.

Belly-to-earth terminal is about 56 m/s, so that is roughly where you will hang still. Trim it with the ↑ and ↓ arrows while you fly.

Weather

Clouds

Coverage is how much of the sky has something in it. Turn it up and you will actually fall through them. Base moves the condensation level, which is what sets the bottom of every heap cloud in the sky at once.
