Forced landing and survivability!

[Ribbon]

I was hit while flying on low alt (multiplayer) and my engine went into flame so i had to perform emergency landing.

I landed nicely and tried to leave the plane by bailing, didn't work so i tried to finish flight which also didn't work (finish flight button stayed grey)......so i was sitting there in plane waiting to die for another 15-30seconds.

I wasn't in this situations before so i don't know is it meant to be that way or it was only MP issue.

It would be nice if pilot can leave the plane or at least finish flight if animations are too much work to do.

only time i had to wait for finish mission after crash land is when server is having delay problems, so after i land or crsh land i have to wait for my gps icon to come to my position, and only then i was able to press finish mission, when all is ok on server every time when crash land imidiatly i was able to finish mission, so i think this was case for you, mission was probably laggy and you had to wait for server to recognise that you crash landed. 

 

Also it would be nice to be able to run away from crsh site like in il-2 1946.

Yeah that could be the case, server was full.

I had situations where i performed crash landing and quit flight but never while engine was on fire and waiting certain death.

Yeah running away from crash site would be great, also to avoid enemy fire cos those guys love to confirm kill on downed planes.

If devs ever implement it ingame, it would be nice to have procedure (like on that p51 vid) where you need to open canopy before crash landing so it doesn't get stuck and reduce escape time.

my tm8 landed one time on base and had to wait 1min for server to alow him to hit finish because of outdated stuff, avoiding guys vulching base, he was sending some nice messages to devs over ts3
