Just a little idea, I dont know why but I think it would be neat to be able to open the cannopy of planes in AH, like before you bail you have to open the cannopy, just throwing it out there, I think it could be a neat little thing to add to the game

Do you mean only before you bail out of any time you want, so you would be able to stick your head out for better visibility while taxing or low speed flying?

Either way +1

so you would have to press a key to open canopy, then enter 3 times to bail. which can all be programmed to my keyboard and well wont be a problem for me.

semp
Press 'Open Canopy key', then press Enter 3 times, and an animation starts showing the pilot struggling to release himself before getting out. No instant bail-outs then as you'll have to wait for the animation to complete. Of course, if the pilot's wounded, bailing would be a problem.

you could see this in FA

+1 for the idea of the opening/closing of the canopy, would be great for those movie makers out there(especially noobs to the "buisness", like me :lol)

You would have to waggle the stick back and forth like you used to do on "Daley Thompson's Decathlon" to simulate the effort required to open the car door they decided to weld to it :joystick:
