I expect some other nit-picker has already said but the point of a free falling parachutist forming the D, arching his back extending his arms and trailing his parted legs, is to form a stable configuration that will allow him to see the ground, and when he pulls his release cord, have the chute deploy behind him into the slipstream minimising the possibility of him getting caught up in the cords or chute and fouling the thing or injuring himself. The parachutist from the Stuka should be stable in the horizontal (he can rotate), not tumbling, as he falls.

Not likely the pilot should spin even more. There was no such thing like halo parajump training. Look how they spin!

Does anybody know what hardware was used for the two videos?

That's fine, but he's in the D, so he should be stable. That's all I'm saying.

To Mr. Maddox and company. I am really looking forward to the release of this new sim. Thank all of crew with the % wage of my Dvd pre- order from gogamer.com. The sim looks like I'll be up late nights for years to come. Could in a future patch have the pilot be more animated on bailot . Since I do not have the game and it may already be. Please then disregard my request. It would be exiting to watch legs or arms move and see the wind wisp the clothing. I will be seeing a lot of my own bailouts and I usualy watch till he lands.
Thanks again and I already am looking forward to the Med and Pacific add ons (pretty please!) I had to put that in there. ha!

So, don't sweat the techni-phobics who can mess up anyone's nice day.

I love it, we are going to be enjoying the COD very soon.

Genuinely laughing out loud. Thx for that Monty Python clip, nearmiss. Good chuckle to start the day and spot on for this forum. Interesting that only one on my ignore list has posted so far.

Oleg, Luthier and Team thank you for the 8 years of fun in that dream world you created: IL-2 and today's little peek at our future dreamworld is like seeing a glimpse of heaven for this old simulator fanboy.
