can't get bail out to work

[LA1]

the pilot has a parachute, I open the canopy. figured it out, need to be in the cockpit, can't be in a "view" outside like in PF.

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

There is a button to 'press' to bail,or better bind a button on your joystick to work this operation,I also believe you have to be over a certain height to enable you to bail out,so trying to bail out on the deck may not allow you to jump.On many German aircraft you will also have to jettison the canopy first.

What aircraft are you flying?

Assign keys/buttons for this commands:

Option >Controls>General:

Toggle Canopy/Hatch/Door

Toggle work well for plane with only one these devices, ie Hurricane (Canopy), Blenheim (Hatch), DH-82 (Door)

or

Open Canopy/Hatch/Door
Close Canopy/Hatch/Door

This command is sequencial, first press open Canopy (if available), second open Hatch (if available), etc...

IF plane have only Hatch, ie Blenheim the first press open

And:

Jettison Canopy/Hatch/Door

Need for Bf-109 for example.

Default key for bail out is "Ctrl+E" - you can reassign or create a *NEW command and assign for other key/button.

You are not able to bail if is too low or plane are in high G spin.

And sometimes the parachute dont open.

* Unlinke IL-2 that can allow map two keys/buttons for one command, CloD allow multiples - just select the command and click in NEW to creat a copy of this command.
