reported Pilot ejecting in air behaves odd

[FalcoGer]

You can eject in the air by opening the canopy and then pressing the eject key 3 times (LCtrl + E).

The pilot will then jump out the helicopter without a parachute. He will also forget his rifle.

• The pilot may bounce off the rotor blades until he slips through or slips off. Pilot will be unharmed
• The pilot will then gently float down to the ground in a sitting position
• The pilot will stop near the ground and do a climb down animation from nothing
• The pilot will then spawn a used parachute behind him after he stood up

And how do you know this isn't correct behavior?  Have you ever ejected out of an Apache IRL? Clearly, we will need a SME to verify this.

I didn't say it was incorrect. I said it was odd.

I thought Ctrl EEE would have included opening of the canopy like in the warbirds. Guess not.

Cool, haven‘t thought this is possible……will try. Sounds like gun!
