Something to consider

[Der_Fred]

Aircraft-parachute collisions - Both came out unscathed from this little event..

[Sabre-TLA]

I would report it as a bug. Object collision detection should have at least destroyed the parachute with a wing going through it. The P-51 would likely be ok, however if the collision detection was really advanced maybe the parachute would catch the wing and you could drag the pilot for a bit of the flight :lol:

Once the pilot has bailed out, he and his parachute are no longer physical objects in the sim; they're graphical effects (and a camera anchor-point) which have no physical presence in the sim world. Hopefully, they'll someday find time to flesh this out, but at present, that's how it is.

 

For this reason, this should not be reported as a bug. Instead, put it in the wishlist section--physics for the bailed-out pilot & parachute would be considered a new feature rather than a bug fix. (... Along with him being able to be killed by bullets once bailed out, and seen by other players once landed.)

That's against the "Geneva Convention":)

They wouldn't have had to put in it the Convention if it weren't physically possible. ; )
