I just can't do that first fling! I've reall the whole of this thread and still can't get it.

is there something wrong with me?

[spoiler]Stand on the ledge and face the slanted floor.

Do an infinite fall to start gaining speed.

Mid-fall, shoot a portal onto the slanted floor so that you come out and go flying.

Mid-flight, shoot your other portal on the ground AND LOOK AT IT so that Portal Funneling kicks in and you go through.

Keep flinging yourself until you gain enough momentum that you go flying up instead of forward.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Less momentum, more of a different ANGLE, you may even need
to crouch with portal funneling to hit it, from an infinite fall it'll take a loop
of about 3 tries from ramp to the flat edge on the other side, DO NOT hold
any directions, it'll happen naturally, and you'll laugh your ass off when you
complete it.[/spoiler]

no, actually I got really pissed off cos the turret went and shot me straight back out

Quote from Astro on October 25, 2007, 1:23 pm

youme you have to fire a portal at the ground under the turret as soon as you get up there

Quote from Rivid31 on October 25, 2007, 1:24 pm

Wow. the turret actually shot you? It's been bugged everytime I went up there. However, the solution is [spoiler]to immediately shoot a portal under the turret when you come flying up there[/spoiler]

I thought the turret was out of ammo.

I bet what happened was before he made it up he got close enough that the turret might have saw him and had enough time to activate and start searching so then when he did get up it was ready to fire.

I don't suppose you could post a screenshot? Where exactly do I put the portals so I can "fling over into the hole"?

Here is a demo on how I did it.

I still can't do it, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I just fly by the hole.
