Author Topic: Leaning out windows? (Read 603 times)

I was wondering if anyone has thought of this. Maybe opening the canopy. And leaning out while taxiing or maybe landing that way. I hope a dev reads this.

I see it now...leaning out the window - then the head gets taken off by a lanc on short final.

Did you read this thread? I think someone thought of it.

worse yet, lean your head out, only to be shot in the head by one of those little guys running around with that freaking 45 pistol

lmao!

I don't think that little windshield will stop a .45 shell anyway though

When you lean out, you probably get blinded by the exhaust smoke and die of suffication

i have played a few sims that when your gear is out the canopy is open, makes for easier runway taxiing for sure.

For landing & taking-off from carriers, it was procedure to open the canopy for a quick escape, might you accidently ditch in sea.

In CMFS II (pacific theatre) the canopy would open by pressing control + o

I believe this isn't mapped yet?

No they have not mapped it yet. I think it would add some more depth to the game if they did.

Maybe not depth, but it would look cool though

Hey pulling the canopy open before jumping out would deffinatly change the game.

I also asked for this feature back when we got the oil streaked windshields.

Still a good idea.

Would be very helpful in the F4u's to be able to get a better view of the carrier.
