KSP knowledge is both a plus and a minus here. If you have played it you know that once the chutes open you are going to land pretty much wherever they take you. OTOH in real Earth there are winds that are going to make it difficult to predict exactly where that is and there aren't hundreds of miles of open space where you can just oopsy your landing.
