This is SO encouraging! Opens up the possibility of a third party developer creating a 'euphoria' add-on to extend the base animations developed by Oleg's team. This add-on could start with these initial animations and then blend into euphoria based animations which react to the environment. For this bailout sequence, the pilot could climb out as normal and then be ripped off the plane by the wind, maybe bounce off the h stab, tumble towards the ground and if the pilot is still conscious, the chute could open at which point the animation switches back to Oleg's hand made animation.

Depending on the attitude and speed of the plane, the euphoria based animation could take over from the canned animations at different points of the sequence. In a dive, for instance, the pilot only gets to pulling himself up off the seat and then gets sucked out of the cockpit courtesy of euphoria.

I can't imagine this add-on being cheap due to licensing costs but I'd definitely get it!

Oleg, is something along these lines a possibility?

cheer!
I can just imagine the pilot getting pummeled in mid air by his tailspinning plane
