Rjel Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I had this happen a couple of patches ago but I couldn't record it. Tonight I had it happen again. It's still a well done effect but I wonder what happens in the program occasionally so it happens. If I change to an F2 view, I couldn't go back to first person. 7
FlatSpinMan Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 That is so much cooler! I wish that would become the default again. It's so much more shocking and disorienting initially, then, as you descend, it shows off the map nicely. 5
SYN_Mike77 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I remember when that was the norm/ I didn't realize it was still even in the game! Wish we could bring it back as the bailout view!
Feathered_IV Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Wow. Add a limited ability to look around and it'd be perfect. 2
Toxin1 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Very nice effect and should be a selectable option in the game. S~
StG2_Manfred Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Very nice effect and should be a selectable option in the game. S~ +1 It's already there, so why not make available (at least as an option). It adds immersion to the game without costs because it's already developed.
reve_etrange Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 It's still a well done effect. I like your video, too.
Emil_Junus Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Do want this, too. Also, i wonder how many frozen pilot bodys are buried in the forests near stalingrad in BOS
No_85_Gramps Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Do want this, too. Also, i wonder how many frozen pilot bodys are buried in the forests near stalingrad in BOS Or under the ice on the rivers! After bailing over a river the pilot floated down and went through the ice to a chilly death. This bail-out view is really nice! Should be the default. Edited January 26, 2015 by Gramps
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Absolutely should be the default!! (And, as you are going to land 200m away from him maybe you can shoot him with your flare gun too!)
312_Tygr Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) ...or steer the parachute away from the rivers, trees, people you've just bombed, etc... Edited January 26, 2015 by 312_Tygr
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 How much steerablity did an early (non-paratrooper) style parachute have? I doubt they had L cuts and risers for aircrew in 1942.
Br00ns Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Very cool. And I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm riffing on your pain, but I couldn't stop chuckling at the fact that you managed to run into the same enemy airplane twice. Epic collision.
Rjel Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah that wasn't very clever. I did think it was pretty cool when his wing peeled off he rolled right back into me. I haven't watched that track from an outside view yet. It must look pretty cool.
361fundahl Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Definitely should have first person bailout. In fact, on a non expert server you should always be able to use all the views.
Leaf Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Considering one of this game's strong suits is immersion and 'little details', this feature is sorely needed (and very cool!). It's one of those things that would set BoS apart. I hope the devs consider implementing it again (shouldn't be too difficult... right?)
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Going through the multiple archived posts/threads I've opened my yap in and ran across this gem. Totally forgot we had this back in the day. They should definitely bring this back.
Voidhunger Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Going through the multiple archived posts/threads I've opened my yap in and ran across this gem. Totally forgot we had this back in the day. They should definitely bring this back. +1
=SqSq=Sulaco Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 +1 to bringing this back. Hope the devs are paying attention to this one.
Rjel Posted May 24, 2017 Author Posted May 24, 2017 This was one of those "wow" moments for me when this happened. When I made the video of this, it could be replicated by using the lock enemy view and colliding with an enemy plane. I'm not sure if it still works now or not.
Gambit21 Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Going through the multiple archived posts/threads I've opened my yap in and ran across this gem. Totally forgot we had this back in the day. They should definitely bring this back. Especially if I can whip out my 1911 and fire off the whole clip at the guy who just shot me down while shaking my fist. 1
unreasonable Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I agree it is way better than the current implementation. Why not put the request in the Qs for developers thread and get an answer from Han eventually - I doubt any of them will see it here. 1
Nic727 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I think it should be added. Look more immersive when bailing out in dogfight!
Guest deleted@30725 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 The third person bailout rips you out of the immersion. Should really be an option as I know some people won't like it, but if the animation is all in the game there is probably an easy way for the devs to make it selectable in a simple menu option.
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Maybe while they're doing first person bailouts they can spend the resources/time modeling the pilot's body for use in the cockpit too since they'll have already done half the work... Oh wait... I'd prefer more planes, theaters, maps, simulation modeling and improvements vs. gimmicks. 1
Jade_Monkey Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 If it's as simple as a config change then im all for it. The feeling of vertigo the first time i did it on the Mig 15bis with VR was amazing. If it requires a lot of work, I'd prefer if they focus on other areas of the game that add more value to the overall experience.
216th_Lucas_From_Hell Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 To those who were there when first person bailouts were a thing, did it work with bombers and, if it did, did it work while you were in the gunner's seat for example? I can see it being easy to implement for fighters since it's all about getting rid of the canopy and pushing your way out but in the He-111 for example the pilot has a bit of a way to go, no? The Ju-88, Pe-2 and A-20 pilots can go outside quickly though, gunners are a different story too. If they do it, and I do think it's a good thing to work on when the time is available, it needs to account for the differences in certain planes. An Airacobra bailout for example is a much trickier thing than a 109 one.
Yogiflight Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 It would be really funny in the Ju52 with paratroopers on board, looking absolutely perplexed at you, while you walk through them to the door, asking themselves "shouldn't he fly the plane?" 2 4
1./KG4_Blackwolf Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I forgot all about this. I'm not sure about the gunners seat, But I'm sure the bombers were the same, you were in the cockpit and next you were hanging in the chute just like a fighter. Its been a while and I have CRS (Can't Remember Sh*t) so I'm not real sure.
216th_Jordan Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 The thing is it is working already. (padlock a plane and bail out) Thats why it would probably not be to hard to make it an option. I wish for it but it doesnt ruin my fun not to have it.

Sublime Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 I really liked noticing when I hit P47s the enemy clambers out and bails different than other planes. I hate to throw DCS in anyones face but their bail out works pretty well... Just imo
