Mike Force Team Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 When I eject from my damaged jet over water, I have a problem. The ejection seat fires my pilot from the jet and there is good separation. A parachute deploys and life is good as the pilot floats down to water. But, as soon as the pilot lands in the water, he immediately drowns. Can ED update the program so our downed pilots can land and survive in water? This allows chopper pilots to be SARs and take the pilots back to base. 5
okopanja Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 I just drawned this evening. Landed exactly on the edge of a beach. Sank like a rock. I will upload trk in the morning. Condition: green
Mike Force Team Posted November 17, 2021 Author Posted November 17, 2021 Along with losing a virtual pilot, think of the virtual government dollars that evaporated. Ssshh. ED needs to save the drowning pilots. 1
Northstar98 Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Something long requested in the past, it would be great if some day we can get pilots with liferafts, and even better would be helicopters with functioning rescue hoists/winches (atm the Mi-8MTV-2 has one, but it's wholly non-functional, even if it was just for AI pilots). https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/99572-lifeboat-after-eject-over-water-or-ship-sunk/ https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/124064-pilot-survival-in-the-drink/ https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/274140-pilot-dies-drowns-after-ejecting-over-water/ Edited November 17, 2021 by Northstar98 3 Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

okopanja Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 It appears I can not upload my trk file here, too large. Instead here is a nice sequence... As seen I landed on the sand, got up, and had dignified burial. So, perhaps adding ability to steer the parachute (if it is steerable), inflate lifeboat, swim, or even escaping sharks would be a nice addition... 2 Condition: green

Through the power of programming and coding, ED has the power of resurrecting the fallen pilots.
Mike Force Team Posted November 18, 2021 Author Posted November 18, 2021 Downed pilots floating in life rafts to escape hungry sharks is a great idea.

Better than drowning in the sand... Anyway, rescue missions are often important scenarios, and there are lots of historic examples as well (some very recent). Condition: green
