w.i.p. Pilot and CPG ground egress - position after animation weird in both cases

[gulredrel]

Haven't found a report about the following, at least not with the search criteria I used.

See also tracks attached.

Have an AH-64 armed with Hellfires at least on the right inboard station. Be on the ground, open cockpit door and hit CTRL + E three times to ground egress the helicopter and look from the outside. Do this both for pilot and CPG.

Pilot comes to a stop after the egress animation with the missiles through his body:

The CPG is floating in a 45° angle in the air...

Thanks

Jens

Annoys me since long. Someone somewhere mentioned that before, but until now no reaction from ED side...

Hi Folks,

I didn't know this feature existed, got my Pilot out and tried to get him back in using RALT+J and kept getting the message wrong vehicle. I also opened the service hatches myself

I pressed F2 twice and the C\PG disappeared and the chocks appeared and the auto start function kicked in.

Any ideas?

Cheers

As far as I know, there is no way of getting back. Egressing using CTRL + E three times is like ejecting from a jet. There is no return.

Ok thanks.

They added the animation for the Apache, cause there is no ejection seat but you can pretend to leave the aircraft after a forced landing. So you don't need to die in a fire or explosion of the damaged helicopter.

It's just the animation and therefore lowest priority issue and a nice to have thing being corrected eventually after it's feature complete.

Thanks gulredel.
