BACKFLIPS!

How do I do backflips?
Some of my friends told me
that the players does this automaticaly
when running backwards and jumping.
Others that I have to press jumo twice while in air.
I typed "behindview 1" in the console to check it out but neither of them worked.
Anyone knows how to do it?

Yeah easy, make sure your air control is higher than 30% and dodge forward, and in mid air go backwards, simple

I just double-clicked the movement button and that would cause you to flip in that direction. Example: double-click the move forward button and you'd flip. You won't see it through your eyes but others will see it.

I'mm 99% sure you CAN'T do back-flips in UT.

I tried the method mentioned above...no back flip. With air control set at 40, you can dodge foward and quickly move backwards and you do a FORWARD flip but land behind where you started.

35 is the default air control in UT.

It is possible in Quake(?) by simply jumping backward.
