Sure footed very fluid motion, as if he had done that exit a hundred time's before. Pilot has good posture as he dismounts to have a close up look at his ride...Well done team!

Is this animation is part of a bail sequence or a simple ground based exit? (I know the Spit is moving).

Sneak into the flightdeck and plunge to the Undercarriage Lever, it seems this beauty has been configured for ground ops.

First off - awesome video! Never seen anything like this in a flight sim before! I'm starting to feel a lot better about the landscape now. If it's on par with the animations we've seen, it'll be truly astounding.

This is SO encouraging! Opens up the possibility of a third party developer creating a 'euphoria' add-on to extend the base animations developed by Oleg's team. This add-on could start with these initial animations and then blend into euphoria based animations which react to the environment. For this bailout sequence, the pilot could climb out as normal and then be ripped off the plane by the wind, maybe bounce off the h stab, tumble towards the ground and if the pilot is still conscious, the chute could open at which point the animation switches back to Oleg's hand made animation.

Depending on the attitude and speed of the plane, the euphoria based animation could take over from the canned animations at different points of the sequence. In a dive, for instance, the pilot only gets to pulling himself up off the seat and then gets sucked out of the cockpit courtesy of euphoria.

I can't imagine this add-on being cheap due to licensing costs but I'd definitely get it!

Oleg, is something along these lines a possibility?

cheer!

In the mean time, for people interested in evacuating airplanes you should watch this rather long but mightily interesting video:

Not to mention the added bonus of nice views of unusual aircraft...

When in the video it says: "slow motion" does this mean 1/4 time that we are familiar with? Is the first part of the video in normal time, or sped up?

The reason I am asking is the first part looks too fast for a human, while the second looks a bit more natural (but maybe just a little too slow). What will be the final "normal" speed that this occurs at?

Good video, thanks!

is imperative to change your obsolet windows vista for the windows seven.

It is just a little sujestion for play much better, in some future, SOW
