Add the bold text line below in the .mis file to the aircraft you don't want parachutes to deploy from.

[I_JG2702]
Planes 4
Parachute 0
Skill 1
Class air.JU_87D3
Fuel 100
weapons 1xSC500_2xSC250

Or you can open the mission in the FMB and uncheck parachutes in the target aircraft properties box.

If you are client side and are in another persons mission.............................stop cheating and fly with honour
Sure, that works, but I don't want to get rid of parachutes altogether, just make it so I don't have to cycle through lots of chutes to look at enemy aircraft.

When flying offline I always leave external views allowed, because I like to be able to see my plane, and when returning to base after a mission I will often use Ctrl=F2 to look at what happened to the remaining enemy aircraft, see whether any are damaged, etc.

The function is also very useful when viewing tracks.

Anyway it shouldn't be that hard to make it so aircraft and parachutes are assigned to different buttons, like friendly and enemy aircraft are at the moment.
