Wish: First Person Bail out and parachute view


Recommended Posts

Posted

I searched for a similar topic or a wishlist, but didn’t find one, so I made a new thread…

 

I’d prefer if the view when bailing out and hanging under the chute maintained the first person view, instead of switching to outside view, as it breaks immersion in VR.

 

I guess I should learn to fight, so I don’t have to bail out so often, but it seems easier to ask the devs… ;)

+1 if i have ability to look around with the mouse, the previous fixed view wheb you bailed out was "boring".

This used to be how it worked, no idea why they changed it. 

 

Edit

There somehow is or was a way to force a 1st person view while bailing out. I've seen videos of it and it sure looks spectacular.

 

I for myself never witnessed it happen myself in the six years I've been playing this game. The automatic switch to 3rd person view has been around at least that long.

Would be cool to have an option to see the pilot body in 1st person while in the cockpit and bailing out like in DCS, might as well be able to see those updated pilot bodies they spent all that time doing, the only time you really see them now is flying by at 200kts or floating down in a parachute.

It used to work that if you had a plane padlocked when you baled out it would appear as if it was in the first person. I just tried that again and it didn't work. It was a pretty cool effect. Limited, but cool.

This is how it appeared.

There was (is?) a mod that does that a d worked fine, so it's definitely not impossible to implement.

Would also enjoy this, 

 

Would also enjoy on PK just getting the black screen vs the exterior view.
