I think people should put the 'walking home' idea to bed now.

It's just not realistic to have a pilot walk back to his home base through miles of deserted countryside and it's not possible to program in the kind of real-life interactions that would make it seem real.

All the accounts I've read show that a parachuting pilot acts like a beacon for anyone in the vicinity - so you get civilians, the local constabulary and Home Guard making up a 'reception committee'.

For an RAF pilot road transport would then likely be arranged back to his base, or if injured a spell in the local hospital. For a Luftwaffe pilot almost 100% certainly it would be a POW camp.

In the absence of any means of simulating all this the best option is to end the sequence after the pilot has touched down just as is done in il2.

Thanks for the update Oleg.
