If I remember correctly, European Air War had, for me, the ebst bailing out animation I can remember in a WW2 sim.

As you hit bail, the canopy popped (as it does now (although some should slide )), and then you had a first person point of view, as you tumbled away from the plane.

Basically what you had was a camera that tumbled through the air adn then the canopy finally opened and you parachuted to earth.

Now, would it be possible to do something like this?

I'm thinking that, as the pilot bails, instead of the POV showing the pilot in his free-fall animation, the camera could instead be set at maximum zoom and spin way from the plane as it zooms back out?

This may give the effect of the pilot falling away from the plane?

I'm trying to imagine how it could be made, but basically the result should have the pilot hit the bail button, then the camera tumbles through the air until finally the canopy opens.

Guys, you have made some amazing mods so-far, I have to ask if this is possible?

Cheers, MP

This would be quite epic, if possible. I would probably spend half an hour just bailing out if this was done. :lol:

+1 but I think it would be difficult.
It could like in Band of Brothers in the episode day of days; during the drop out of the C-47's you see a paratrooper of the 101st jump in 1st person view. :wink:
But when you land? Run in 1st person and dive to the ground in 1st person?
Nice idea Mystic, maybe you should have asked Oleg in your interview :wink:

OT: during your interview with Oleg, Mysticpuma, did you see the tracer from the hurricane when Oleg fired the brownings in game? If so was it like in Il-2 or did it have smoke tracer like it shoulf have?

Cheers,
Philip

I'm more interested by having a flyby bomb cam (I hope it's the good translation) but a new bailing out animation would be great too. If I remember well you don't hit the ground in EAW you just jump and have the camera moving all arround you in 1st person...

[RealDarko]

If you remember there are times in EAW where you hit the tail of the plane and the parachute will not open. So you're dead.

I do that already

But its a very nice idea!

+++1 Will be very nice bailing out in first person.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[Triad773]

Nice idea, but what of the special wind sounds and relative engine noise one would have to program?

Feedback from those in the know?

[Dogtail2]

Just changing the silly spreadeagle pose of the bailout in third person would be an improvement. Freefall parachutists do it that way but not bailing out, possibly wounded pilots.

Hey MP, hey guys,

I was starting on this while ago, it shall be a part of my R.C.A. Mod.

I didn't metioned it until now, 'cause I had big problems to realize it...I'm sorry to say.

So, I don't wanna tell you "you will get Bailout 1st Person View", 'cause I can't promise to realize.
Also, atm I have less time to mod... real life comes first.

If someone want to start this Mod...no prob, please go on. But it is very heavy stuff, be sure.

Good luck.

Maybe is possible configurate a new key for eject canopy, and the pilot stay in cockpit (the BF

[Divine-wind]

You can sort of do that with planes that come with open-able (lol) canopies, except your canopy stays on. Maybe for the BF series?
