+Stary Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 View File Ejecting pilots beta This little mod adds "fake' bailed out pilots ejecting from heavily damaged burning planes, that fall slowly on their parachutes into ground. Just unzip to your Effects folder, and please read the readme. Submitter Stary Submitted 12/08/2008 Category Effect Mods Quote

+Wrench Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Cool!!! We've had canopies coming off for a long time, making it look like they've left the aircraft...now we've got the the guy floating down!! ----------------- and if anyone even thinks of opening the can-o'worms on strafing ejected pilots -- they're gonna get a vacation.

+Spectre_USA Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Let us just say thet there is a bit of a history on that subject, and leave it alone. As to the add-on, another on my list o' little peeves being put right, I love it! Quote
BattlerBritain Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 That is such a neat idea. Brilliant! Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Just took a test spin, F-91's & Voodoos versus MiG-17s. Bagged a few of the Fagots, even an AIM-4 kill, never got a chute. Maybe it was due to it being over the Bering Straights, and it was too cold to do anything but smolder? I saw a lot of that. Will try over Israel in the morning, must crash now... Quote
+Stary Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Bagged a few of the Fagots, even an AIM-4 kill, never got a chute. Older version that was? I did it in Oct '08, will test in older installs, also only aircraft fire effect spawns the chutes. EDIT: Did a quick test in OTC 2.0 v8.30.06 WOE install, works ok, pilots on seats and chutes visible Edited December 9, 2008 by CA_Stary Quote
Silverbolt Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Wonderfull!!!! Stary, could you do an effect for 2 pilots? like Tomcat and Foxhound.... thanks! this improved a lot my sim!! Quote
+Typhoid Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 is this for the other guy or your own plane? Quote
+Stary Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 is this for the other guy or your own plane? the other one. But if you catch heavy fire, you'll see yourself bailed out too. When fying two-seater just pretend it's the guy from the backseat Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I agree! And I figured out why I wasn't seeing them on my 1st attempt, I had Deuces effects from 2005 installed, and one of these conflicted; -20mm Fire, Object and Ground hit (HE round effect to see your gun shots better at night)-New muzzle Flash -Afterburners (My original) -Aircraft explosion (Updated explosion, fire, smoke) -Clusterbomb (Updated) -Napalm(Updated) -Dirty Exhaust (My original) -Countermeasure (New Flare effect) -Lumination Flares (My original) -Flak Effect (Updated) -SAM launch/Inflight (Updated for improved SA) -All bombs-small,medium,large,verylarge (Updated or new) -All rockets/Pod (New fire/Inflight/Ground Explosion) -Missile fire/Inflight (Updated) -WilliePete rocket/bomb (My original) I don't see how though. I am, of course, kidding. You can only stretch effects so far. This is most coolio, great job! Quote
Glock Holiday Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I'm happy to report that this outstanding mod works in WOV WOI and WOE! Great mod. Quote
ezlead Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I was flying 1962 campaign from WOE and one of my F-100 wingman got hit. I turned around to see the flames and "Holy Moly" there was the chute. Extremely cool effect!! THANKS!! Quote
fougamagister Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Arg ! Ino way, It doesn't work with my version of WOE (2006's patch, the 2008's makes my computer to crash) .. I installed the latest effects pack from Deuces a few months ago and tried to reinstall the Effects folder I found in my backups archive, but doesn't seem to make any difference .. Now I think there's something wrong with what I did Quote
