Did you guys notice we have a ladder nowadays?

(yes, this is me after a successful - did I say excellent? - strike far down south Balkans, GBU24 style, almost as awesome as 4x Mk84 - no, not really)

What use is the ladder, when the Pilot can't walk outside the cockpit. Makes the sim totally unplayable for me. Other sims do it far better ....

Well Ice, you know I see it this way, amazing what BMS can do with only 12 and a half pixels.
biggrin

Well, I have three screens so I see BMS in 37.5 pixels. Still 1999 graphics, but at least I have more pixels! I hear the Open Beta version gives more pixels **AND** better performance smile

I like the ladder, nice touch. It's a long drop for this old man. I think a power lift would be a little better though. Maybe even one that gently lowers me in to the seat. Or maybe better would be a pit that the Viper is driven down in to, and I can just fall in to the 'pit with little effort. But I'd still need to get out....

Hey Oden, what had been hanging on 3/7?

Oh, duh, GBU-24. Reading comprehension requires actually reading it biggrin

Yes, that's the idea, but perhaps something a bit more plush. Some back and neck support, maybe add a heater and built-in massager.....

Voyager has the right ring to it though.

Troo dat.

Though, it isn't a bad idea. I was thinking maybe I could just be strapped in to the seat, and the whole works then gets lowered in to the cockpit and armed. And I could just pull that yellow and black PTE handle to get out after the mission. .Saves the gubment a ladder anyway

Ladders are inherently dangerous, and safety is always a priority.

Thanks, you're too kind.

I found the absurdity of ejecting to save the cost of a ladder and to avoid it's inherent dangers to be not only funny, but distinctly American biggrin

And I can say that because, well, I'm one. And that eliminates any shades of discrimination, bias or stereotyping, right?

Who leaps out out the rabbit?

Galahad, Lancelot and I.....

Sometimes brilliant plans fail at the execution stage.

I would say ejecting to get out of the cockpit is much more dangerous. Look what happened to Goose..... biggrin
