Please just one thingin 4th part 4 shot:

Why when a pilot or member crew bail out have this position of legs and arms?

Seems that it position is a professional or experts paratroopers with arms extended and legs bent.

I see in too many you tube videos that when a pilot bail out he falls like a rag doll ous of control falling and turning himself.

Oleg or luthier or somebody, can show me a picture tha show this position when a pilot bail out? I think that this position of bailing out was born in late 50s, no in ww2.

I hope that this position of bailing out was WIP. If no is WIP its sad see this positon.

Sorry for my bad english.

this is all way too important to ignore in a flight sim - if this isn't done to my liking I'm going to take up golf...and I feckin HATE golf!

I know it's a minor part of the sim, but I did send you a detailed picture of a Defiant gunner (in colour) to show the GQ Parasuit which they wore. Will you model this in the game? It's only a cosmetic part, so really it's a bit inconseqiential, but I was just interested (because of my love for RAF BoB gear).

Also, the Defiant gunners had problems bailing-out. Will this be modelled, too? (sorry if it's been asked before, but I don't remember seeing it posted )

Keep up the excellent work. The Menu looks really easy to operate, which I think is great. I quite like the contemporary look, too. It reminds me of Brothers in Arms.

I love the Defiant too...because I heckled the fugly thing on the old forum once and got yelled at by all the Brits - nice teeth fellas

If the relationship between the gunner arm length and harness release is realistically modelled, and their personality included in an algorithm to work out when they decide to try it so that we have an historically accurate chance of a rear gunner bailing out?

yeah - just model it accurately - turret latch damaged - gunner trapped inside to the end.

they couldn't get out of those turrets in flight with all that gear on while flying sedately in a straight line - how would anyone expect them to get out with the plane in a death spiral?

Let's have none of this colonialist nonsense over spelling conventions! Far too many 'zeds' and far too few 'ewes'!!

oh I cant tell you all how sweet it is to be back in here reading the Friday Updates.

its absolutely GOLDEN


great update pics Oleg - I like the GUI the way it is...and if the background pic can be personalized that would be cool too - whatever

...could this sim be closer to release than anyone suspects?

+1 for Ilya's humorous postings..keep up the great work people

[lbuchele]

This friday updates are getting better and better.
Not only for the superb screenshots but we have a lot or fun too in some people demands...
I'm already seeing Oleg and Ilya running wild in the office trying to find a picture of a pilot bailing out in the "right"
style...

[heywooood]

one last remark though and I think it bears consideration.

haircuts

if the Brit pilots have German haircuts or the German pilots have English styles - or they all look Ukrainian I will not be buying this sim period - I don't care what kind of smoke the tracers have or that I can have rainbow tracer loadouts

one wrong haircut and I'm out - in the old sim they all had Russian flight helmets, made me sick! so I'm sure this time you guys will get that right at least - but the hair under those helmets?? we shall see

[Richie]

If this is off the topic say "yes" below and I'll wipe it out no problem

I'm sure when this sim comes out all of the friends and people who flew in the big servers in the Hyperlobby will find each other right away in a matter of days. Spits VS 109s, Warclouds ect. I say for the blue side we all follow the original plan in the never ending bomber night mission that will probably be going on in Spits VS 109s. Forget London. Leave it alone! I'd like to see what happens to these air fields under constant harasment. I think they get big holes in them do they not? I wonder what would happen if we all went on for about a week. Would the blue side just make a terrible mess of fighter command?
