May I propose an optional dialogue message on a chute landing that states MIA / KIA / CAPTURED / RTB with the option to continue mission or exit?

Then in the case of continuing the mission, the pilot then heads home (if alive) .. ? Of course this would be purely for the users pleasure to see their man walking home, interaction would be nil.

(Of course I have no idea if you have a GUI interface tied in with the flying part of the game that can do this)

In CFS3 the pilot simply walked out of the frame. It seems that people would really like the guy to go all the way home however. Before he starts, he might just light up a cigarette. He's been through quite an ordeal.

LOL, I suspect I'd start smoking again too.

That is not exactly my case, but considering that i play multiplayer the most, if i get shots down i would very much like to be able to walk or run in first person perspective and continue on the mission and see the show of the combat.
Also considering other scenarios beside BoB, it would be cool to run and see the ground combat, if there is any.

Walk to your homebase would be practical only when you crash on take off or crashland near your airfield.

one question :

for ejection , in Bob how will be the camera view ?

as il2 ( a camera view of the pilot's body in the air ) or another possibilty : the camera view will be the pilot view ( the same as when you are in the cockpit ) .

thank you

This sounds like the best option, seen other flight sims do this.
kind of like a roll the dice whether you land safely, make it back to base, get KIA, MIA or captured, instead of having to go through a long walk back to base (unless they want to do that).

That is already included in Il-2. Makes me wonder if you lot actually ever really played the game with 100% attention...

You need to read my original post, which describes a situation that IL2 does not provide.
BTW I have over 1,000 flights in IL2 averaging 45minutes each.

LOL, does that mean that soon you will be able to fly for a civilian airline
