Multiplayer Version of the Jester Ditch?

[The0neTrueAsian]

So we all know how Jester can just decide to roll down the windows and take a stroll from time to time. My question is can we do the same thing as the RIO in multicrew? I've been looking around but I haven't really seen anything on the topic aside from jumping in the tomcat first and disabling the pilot's ejection seat. I know about the CMD Ejection lever, but it doesn't really seem like it works as intended.

You want to prevent the pilot from ejecting? No such option from the RIO position.

[Spurts]

No, he wants to eject just himself and leave the pilot in a convertible.

How is it not working as intended?

That no matter what it is set to both seats fire when the handles are pulled by the RIO.

As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be a way to change the behavior of the ejection handle. Like Spurts said, no matter what configuration the plane is in, if the RIO pulls the handle, both players eject. I just think it would be funny if there was a way to just ditch your pilot just like Jester occasionally does.

It would also useful to be able to threaten to do so if the pilot misses the basket too many times (cf. 10:13 through 10:34 in this:

)

Love me some Fighter Fling. 2003 and 2004 were my favorite.

This is why I won't let randoms RIO for me on multiplayer.

Cant speak for the ejection command working or not, but I know from having done this to a friend that you can reach around as RIO and arm/disarm the pilots ejection seat, then pull the lever regardless of if your own seat is armed or not. so depending on which seats are armed you may become a RIO in a now pilotless plane, or leave your pilot without a RIO or canopy

PILOT: Why can't you find these @#$%! bandits?

RIO: Good luck finding them yourself! *rocketjumps out of the plane*

I just tried this with a buddy in a server, I can click some of his switches from the backseat, but I can't interact with his arming lever. Maybe this was patched out?
