Ejection seat

[blackdog~]

I was thinking while playing with deadsoldier's F15... now we need an ejection seat.

It would be quite simple to make, just model an ejection seat and when a person ejects... the ejection seat will be part of a parachute model and the person would be sitting down

is that how it works though? i was under the impression the seat detached when it was clear of the aircraft, so the pilot is like he is in ofp, as landing on your arse cant be good....

[blackdog~]

I'm not sure how exactly one works... good point though.

I think that the ejection that is currently in Operation Flashpoint is fine...




blackdog, on closer inspection of your sig, are those nazi flags behind Bill Gates?

When the pilot ejects, the canopy blows off and the pilot jumps with the ejection seat 200-300 metres(depending on which plane it is) up into the air. Then the ejection seat dettaches and bails towards the ground. The pilot is left there with his parachute. Here's an F-16 ejection seat i made some time ago...

The 3-bar handle there activates the ejection. If it would be the correct process, then the ejection would have to be made through a script i think.

about the sig it are not Naziflags, ive seen a very big wallpapaer of that pic with bill gates with flags on the background and it were logos of microsoft

[blackdog~]

Yeah, it would have to attach it to the player continually, then drop off, which might either make a really nice effect or provide lots of lag for the player

ofp really needs an ejection seat because when you are flying at low altitudes and you eject, your parachute opens at the last second and you hit the deck like a sack of shit.

[blackdog~]

Occasionally on planes, you can eject at low altitudes and be shot up into the air as if you had an ejection seat... but I don't know how to reproduce this thing

BIS's SU-25 has an ejection where you shoot up into the air unless I'm mistaken.
