Maybe somebody could model this for FS...?

Yeah that would be cool.

I know Cirrus has the chute on it's SR-22G I think it's called. That would rock to have it on FS. :) :)

There is a model of a Cirrus SR-20 for FS2002 and a Sr-22 is under development for FS 2004. Both with chutes. ;)

You're right, at first it defiently seems odd. But if you really think about it, it's not. It was dark and he was over the mountains and may have only been a few thousand feet AGL. Recovering from an unintentional roll is hard enough day time, make it night time and what may have been pretty much IMC and you're very lucky to recover.
