BF 109 canopy and bailing out

[III/JG53_Don]

Is it only me who have problems with the german pilot to bail out?
Every time and I mean EVERY time I bail out in a german plane the parachute doesn't open and the pilot touches the ground in a very ungentle way.
I definitely pack a parachute for the german pilots in the menue and I just don't have a clue what I do wrong.

Pull the cord

Sorry couldn't resist

The German pilot jettison his canopy by pulling the red cord in the left part of the instrument panel then jump and open his parachute...

senseispcc,

I see you use the G940. I'm using the MS FFB stick, but I have a G940 and am wondering if I should change or stay with a good thing.

Also, is there a place in a menu to add/not add a parachute?

Use the parachute is a volontary action I use my mouse, pull the cord or jettison the canopy or ctrl +j sometime ctrl+o, and the keys, ctrl+e, to open the parachute and my joystick to fly the planes but I am a RAF fan and do not often fly German or axis planes.
