Enable looking around when parachuted

[LostOblivion]

Dear ED,

 

Will you please, please implement looking around when parachuted, especially with TIR? This would really add to the immersion for me as I'm getting shot down a lot. Thanks!

 

I mean, imagine you eject, then looking up seeing the chute deploy, AWESOME!

 

Also, having the ejection happen all in one smooth animation would also be great: Pull the eject levers, slow down to half speed and watch as the cockpit disappears below you, and the chair slowly "falls off" when looking behind you. ;)

 

Edit: Couldn't find any videos of a first person ejection, anyone?

Or take it one step further and allow pre-flight external checks with full use of view commands?

 

But I think the fact you can walk around after ejection is just meant to be an Easter egg and not meant to be taken further unfortunately.

Eject, press LALT+F2, move mouse around.

Actually it's LALT+F1 but yeah that does work. Thanks for the tip.
