He forgot his chute...🫣

I was totally surprised when I bailed out and got killed.  Did they install malfunctions in the chutes?  No, they got historically accurate and didn't provide them!  Kudos!  Now, if they can just make them frap once in a while, that would be great.  😎

I bailed from a 109 over the Eiffel Tower to see if the ‘chute would catch on it or the pilot would land on a ledge - but the canopy touching the tower simply caused it to collapse and my pilot went in. I think that’s the case with all buildings in the sim.

This has been the case since beta testing for FC3 when we asked them to remove chutes for the Albatros DII and any new, German, early war crates.

That happens to me, too, if I snag a tree.  My canopy deflates and I hammer.  BSBD!  😃

I wasn't aware of that.  So, if I understand you correctly, all the new "early" Central planes have no chutes?  I'll have to check that later today.  Thanks for the info.👍

 

Another thing I'll check: if I fly an Eindekker in 1918, will I get a parachute?  😉

No early war Central planes have chutes, regardless of when you fly them.

Saved me some time.  Thanks!  👍

 

And BTW, I think that's how it should be.
