Escape Pods Mk 2 by Uncle T

Description
175 bricks.

EDIT!
I increased the time it takes to unfold the brake flaps from 20 to 60 seconds to allow the pod to be launched from the higest mountain on Canyon and still land safely at sea level without them folding in and letting you drop to your death. They will still fold back but you have to wait longer. It was a last minute add-on and it's not really a crucial feature so... You still have to aim it so you land at a similar or lower altitude however.
I also added floats so you can land in water and still be rescued.

An updated and improved version of my old escape pods. Just get in and press the button in front of you and the excape pod will rocket you off to safety about 2 km away from the launch site.
Once you land wait a couple of seconds for the brake flaps to fold in again and get out.
Easy as A B 3!
Can be used on ships, in secret lairs and bases or atop tall buildings etc.

Feel free to edit and incorporate into your own build, but if you reupload them publicly in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!

I have considered remaking my B-24 since I did rebuld my B-17, and when/if I do I plan to add a PB4Y version too. I just haven't had the energy to do it since it's quite an undertaking and my energy reserves have been very low. But it is on my list.

Well these work a lot better than the old ones do that's for sure.
Also (IF you do not mind, no pressure)
Could I perhaps ask if the PB4Y Privateer is on your list? and if not, could it be added?

Remember - If you don't get the updated version when using it in game, unsub and resub to it to get the correct version downloaded immediately.

There - extended the deployed time for the brake flaps to 60 seconds and added floats so even if fired from the bridge on Canyon into the water you will land at a proper speed AND float once you land. :)

Never mind, I'll fix it myself and I'll see if I can add floats to make it salvageable in water. :)

It's a pretty quick build and really designed to work well on flat-ish ground or at least to land no more than 100 meters below the lauch point and then it shouldn't be a problem, but I can see on Canyon and Desert there might be issues.
Easiest way to fix it is to extend the timer for the flaps I guess since the "folding them in again" function isn't really necessary. The bottom left sensor in the cockpit controls how long they stay open so feel free to edit the time from 18 seconds to whatever works, about 40 should be enough I guess.
Feel free to edit in any way you want. :)
