Bailouts

[AWC]

This is an idea that came to me when I noticed the updated mechanics concerning the bailouts, physiology and physics. Any feedback is welcome. I hope you enjoy!

Bailouts are still a thing in this game?  I thought those ended with the new physiology update.

Great video! :-) Now we just need first person bailouts again!

Yes! One thing I miss and want to see added, along with first person parachute view similar to DCS.

Me too, it really adds something to the experience.

Great video, love the bomber crews climbing past seats/equipment ?

If you turn on padlock in game, and then try to bail out after you padlock enemy airplane, you will be in first person view when you bail out. Was just playing some qm df without track ir so i was using padlock option, when all of sudden when i bail out and was in first person view, and after few tests to see how that happend it seams if i padlocked enemy airplane and then bail out (even after enemy airplane that i had padlock on was destroyed) i will be in first person view.

You can get hit by bits of plane once you bail out? ?

 

Excellent video!

 

I wonder when we'll get the option to allow crew to bail out first.

I had a really interesting bailout the other day. Got bounced from behind by a 190D-9 and it just shredded my P-47 and took the tail right off. It hit me so hard that it violently flipped the aircraft hard enough that the G-forces caused me to black out. After five seconds blacked out I came to with my ears ringing, bloody vision and in an inverted spin. 

When I hit the bailout button the canopy popped off and my guy just fell straight out of the airplane.

Brilliant.  I had not realised the bailouts were so cool now, especially the bomber crew.   Please 1C can we have first person view as standard?    Also,  throw in some roman candles and failed chutes and maybe even some tangling up on your own or your attackers plane where appropriate.

I must say the phisiology makes getting shot down a l lot more intense. Im really impressed with how bailouts are now affected by the physical state of the aircraft (inverted, too fast to get out, etc.)

Fantasic video! 

The new bailing animations are stellar, and this was a masterpiece showing it off!

add to that the ability to pull the rip cord yourself...might avoid some chute killing

I was attacked to get killed in my chute few times in last few months and they failed to do so, to me it seams like hitboxes are not so big and its not so easy to hit to kill, or my attackers had realy bad aim ?

I watched a guy (I presume) blackout and crash into the ground pulling around too hard to go after my chute.  ?

I agree.  When you you have to bail at 20,000ft it would be nice if you could wait until you are well away from the battle before you open your chute.

[FTC_Woop]

Yes, first person bail outs please!!

 

Also I'd like the screen to go black until you exit the flight when your pilot is killed. That way you can't give info about your enemy once you are dead.

[Ram399]

First person bailouts would be fantastic, also this happened the other day and I'm not saying I was disappointed when he phased right through but... it had potential lol.

[FTC_Woop]

I've always been rather disappointed when that happened. Real pilots had to think before bailing out, for fear of hitting a part of their plane and to make it easier to slip out of the cockpit.

Honestly for SP I've been hoping from the beginning that it would go the other way and the mission would continue until the player decided to end the mission.

I've always hoped they would add that feature. It's just funny how the pilot abandons the crew to their deaths to get out first xD!

[216th_Jordan]

One other problem with the current modelling is that the flight controls stay LOCKED into position once the bail out key is pressed, thats why the planes fly so weird after bailout sometimes. Go full rudder on bail out? Rudder will stay that way.

 

So, as for wishlists ?

 

#1 - 1st person bailouts! (the implementation is already there as explained by the padlock example!)

#2 - Second command for rip cord! (CFS2 had this - it was awesome!)

#3 - make flight controls read 0 inputs after bailout

#4 And give us an extra bail-out button titled 'Crew Bailout' which gets the crew to bail out, then the pilot bails out last.

I asked Han about that when there still was the 'Questions for Developers' thread, but his answer didn't really make sense. But what was clear was, they did not have in mind to change the current way, that the pilot bails out first. Very disappointing.

[FTC_Woop]

Might have something to do with the state of the a/c once you press the bail-out button. From a coding standpoint that is. It might require complex coding and changes to current systems to allow the entity to not switch state when the button is pressed... Disappointing indeed.

[Zooropa_Fly]

Tremendously hilarious video, exactly the sort of thing I need like to see 1st thing in the morning.

Thanks for doing it S!

[rodgerdavies]

Wonderful video, really shows off the game well

[216th_Jordan]

Just leaving this here ? its a bit older but...it captures the tenseness quite well.

Poor pilot, I wasn't expecting him to splat.

[peregrine7]

Awesome video, that was a fantastic watch!

[danielprates]

That video in the OP... is confirms my suspicions that more often than not, the pilot collides against his own plane. Maybe that should be modeled too!

A lot of bailouts ended up colliding with the plane. I saw a picture of a crashed JU 88 with a bump on his stabilizers where a aircrew smacked into it. The pilot shooting it down reported he had seen it happened. 
during a dogfight over London a Hurricane pilot saw a tailgunner in a BF 110 hanging in his parachut attatched to the tailfin. He reported the pilot attempting to climb from cockpit to the tail to free him. I think it is a painting of that somewhere too. 
awesome video.

I dont know why I laugh so damn loud at that Mustang at 1:13, I just cant control it

Haha it gave me a shock when it happened as I was trailing the enemy!

[BornToBattle]

Um yeah...I banked hard right and accidentally ran into an AI who had bailed out of a B-25. Ended up chute slicing him and watched him in “absolute horror” as the whole chute realistically collapsed and he free fell all the way down to his pixelated death.
