Pilot Wounds

Why do you keep blacking out when you are wounded in an aircraft, yet when you bail you are magically healed.   

Keg o' health maybe? :noid

EF = end flight. Yep, I guarantee if I am wounded I will black out on finals..

Yes I do notice about black outs on final, but IMO it's pretty easy to do.

it's like clock work when you have a pilot wound. Black out as your on final and when your on someones six.

Time your blackouts so your a couple seconds from landing after the last blackout.  If you land with gear up your plane will stop quick, and keep a straight path down the runway.

It's in the code.

IF ( wounded ) {
   IF ( saddled || on_short_final ) {
      BLACKOUT();
   }
}

The frequency and duration of of blackouts is proportional to your distance from the end of the runway.

The longer the distance, the longer the delay between blackouts, and vice versa.

Also, I'm pretty sure there's a 1.5 multiplier that kicks in as soon as your gear is down...
