Yikes, that's really unfortunate! I hope you can find a way around it - it really sticks out at the moment, and not in a good way. I know that it doesn't functionally make the game worse, but can really be bad for immersion. Makes some of the more dramatic moments of the game suddenly look a little silly. I for one would even settle for bailed pilots being 2d sprites that float, rather than 3d models that drop like rocks...
