how to parashoot?

[Babi]

regarding bailing out, i can't bail out when i'm very low (< 25 m).. is this supposed to be a feature? i open/jettison the canopy and hit ctrl-e... but nothing happens. almost feels like the pilot is thinking: "screw you! i'm not doing it!"
If i gain an acceptable altitude, and hit ctrl-e again, it works perfectly fine.

Babi you're right. Your pilot thinks: "Screw you, i won't jump out at 25m and hit the ground like a Kamikazefighter seeing the USS Hornet with 16 B-25's onboard." And honestly i guess you wouldn't want to do it in real life either.

[Babi]

Sure i wouldn't want to do it in real life! BUT, being my virtual life we're speaking about, i claim my right to decide when where and how to bail out!
Is it possible to attempt a bail out at 10 m, going at 300 kmh in real life? Hell yes. Should i survive said attempt? Hell no, but that's just my problem

In case you think control-e opens the parachute it doesn't. make sure you equip your pilot with a chute in the menu... just sayin in case you ment you opened the canopy and jumped but he wont open the chute.

He will jump, just gets to the ground a lot quicker......

With the bail outs, I wonder if G-Forces are modelled, by that I mean that if the A/C is going to fast you can't get out due to wind pressure pushing you into the cockpit etc?

By the way: These things (or related ones) were already modelled in Il-2 1946. I had major problems getting my pilot alter ego to bail out when my plane was already plummeting downwards in excess of 700 km/h ^-^

well according bernuoilli if a fluid moves too fast it creates a subpresure

so according bernuoilli it should be pretty easy to bail out at high speed

the higher the speed the more the vacuum the easier to jump

edit:

also according the 33 years i have of studies if the plane goes fast enough the subpresure will be so big that the pilot will need oxigen in the empty cockpit

edit:

just to realize how strong this vacuum force and with which force the parashoot is expeeled watch:

a hoollywood movie at which the baddie makes a hole in the plane with a bullet

I would guess it does,because IL2 has it as well.

[QUOTE=2033cyborg;279911]is there more than one way to bail out in COD?

look at that pilot animation! anyone actually saw it in a gameplay??


Apparently, most pilot animations are disabled at the time. For instance I can't bail out on the ground, which is highly annoying when you've just landed your burning airplane and want to GTFO!

in the case none noticed:

i was joking

Make sure you have a parachute in game.. and make sure you don't have any excessive forces on the pilot.. tight spins etc prevent bailing..
