EJECTION CONTROL SAFETY LEVER
The ejection seat is nothing more than a bomb/rocket that a pilot sits on. It is very important the
systems are locked when the aircraft is not being flown so unwanted deployment is impossible. The
moment you are shutting down the engine you flip this lever up and the system will be safe. The ground
crew will always check this before they reach inside the cockpit.
CANOPY
The canopy can be opened with the default [shift]-[e]-[1] command. It is more realistic to use the
canopy switch. Note the switch is either underneath the octopus or a bit further aft and that the
canopy will only open when the octopus is up.
PILOT VISOR
The Pilot Visor is linked to the default Water Rudder command [shift]-[w].
LASER PODS
Several of the targeting pods have animations that are triggered with
the Laser Arm switch. When switched on the pods will either start a
scanning animation or animate from the stored state to the active
state (with the sensors forward).
