Well it just goes to show how little I know having been around a few years! It reinforces how useful a read of the forums can be from time to time.

LOL I'm going to bail and try some of the options! :aok :D

Bailed pilots are listed as CHUTES with the very same Icon.


Half the time, you do not see the icon when they are on the ground though. (Much like any planes icon can "disappear" close to the ground).

You never see an enemy man's icon once he's on the ground.  You do, however see friendly men's icons.

Just though I'd point out that the auto-acks have to be down at an enemy field before you run in there to have fun with your .45 or they'll get you every time but its good fun once they are.

In case you are asking about moving around after bailing, you may have to map the keys to do this as I don't think a bailed pilot has default movement keys.

Certainly I will have to map keys for this on my setup as my joystick simply aims the gun and I know no keys have been assigned to moving - yet.

Why would you want to run into an nme field?  I would think hiding in the map room of a friendly field would serve you better if they dropped troops...

Scca,
BaldEagl said the field not the town(map room). You don't want to run onto an enemy airfield when the auto ack is up! In his earlypost the Map Room reference was at a freindly field, at least thats the way I read it.

SCCA, read the thread before you post.  See my post above.  Fun with .45's in this thread.

Blaggard, you're right... friendly maproom, enemy field.

I still don't think I'd see it.  Now if I could only get those enemy guys trained to roll over...

At one point, there was even more fun to be had.

A few creative folks walked their downed pilot to the enemy airfield (acks were down) and STOOD right on the runway aircraft spawn point. When enemy planes spawned, they found themselves "colliding" with that "enemy object" and became instantly dead.

I understand that those pilots ran up incredible kill runs before the loophole was closed.

Not true, just depends on which .45 you're using.

For instance, this .45 carries 8 +1 standard, with optional high cap magazines that can carry 10
