Yep,I've been banging on to resurect this animation since day one,apparently the dev's did'nt put it in the final COD build as they thought it would hit the fps too much.

Now we have been informed that the new patch coming will improve the average fps by half,maybe they could consider installing this again.Or even as an add on to those of us that do pocess fast rigs to run it on,but to leave it out is a travesty!

B6 please,please beg,beg this is just too good just to leave out,it needs to be in the sim,ok rant over,I'll get me coat.

I'd love to see this included in the game, but we only ever saw this one clip of a RAF pilot 'baling out' of a spit. If he is actually baling out and the animation wasn't intended to be used on the ground.

As Ataros suggests above, how many different bale-out animations would be necessary for all the aircraft in the game, for all the crew positions? Not to mention the different attitudes of the aircraft at bale-out time.

But I really do hope they're there.

Last summer Luthier mentioned they hired a specialist in human animation. Hope he is still there and kicking

wow, DCS Mustang's canopy is powered by rocket fairies..

The canopy release mechanism doesn't shoot it in the air like that, it's just a spring release, the slipstream does the rest.
