    Can't seem to bailout

    I can't seem to bailout of my 109. I blow the canopy and that flies away fine just like Cliffs does but then I just sit there after hitting ctrl E or the key on my joystick that I mapped for it. Do I need to take my straps off or something?

    Right Ctrl J to pop the canopy.
    Ctrl e to bail.

    Check your key bindings to confirm.

    You need to hit the bail out key / button three times to make the pilot hit the silk.
    I think it comes from the modern day ejection procedure order, "Eject, Eject,Eject", to make sure there are no little accidents....
    Maybe a jet jockey can confirm?

    Re: Can't seem to bailout

    On my system, reconfigured keys.

    Ctrl J - jettison canopy and Ctrl e - bail works for German planes.

    On English planes, open/slide, h on mine, canopy back and Ctrl e to bail.

    Ctrl e e e, has never worked for me.

    You got it figured out for you so good on ya!
