LordSixx Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Does anyone know how in the hell these pilots stay strapped in? I have never noticed any restraints in any VF's. I've checked DYRL and Plus. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchVile Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 the seats could attatch to the back pack of the flight suit. I know in Gundam (the UC series) there's a hole in the seat for the backpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSixx Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 I've referenced the DYRL "This is Animation" book and I couldn't find anything. I see how the ejector seat becomes manueverable (in space I presume), but no restraint system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurel Tristen Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Does anyone know how in the hell these pilots stay strapped in? I have never noticed any restraints in any VF's. I've checked DYRL and Plus. Any ideas? There are seat belts in the VF-1 (TV series) also the Valkyrie has a gravity inertia control (GIC)system. (MAT) The chest straps of the flight suit (TV series) connect the parachute in the ejection seat. Since the VF-1 has various escape procedures (phases/contingencies) See these: http://manuals.macrossmecha.org/vf1/fact/accom/escsys/ (May not be considered official) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 the seats could attatch to the back pack of the flight suit. I know in Gundam (the UC series) there's a hole in the seat for the backpack. When Gamlin gets his VF-17 canopy shreaded by Sivil, he floats out in space with 2 tubes connecting him to his seat. And there is a slot for the backpack in the VF's seat. You can see this on the DYRL? VF-1 and the VF-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyryder Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I think they use duct tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 The opening sequence to the TV series shows a lap belt I beleive. Or one of the episodes when Hikaru is preparing to launch. I remember it clearly, though I know it's often overlooked because it's just a few seconds of screen time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 the only ones who would need it are Max, Millia, Hikaru and Roy. all the other pilots get toasted and don't get to eject anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 the only ones who would need it are Max, Millia, Hikaru and Roy. all the other pilots get toasted and don't get to eject anyways... What about Kakizaki? Did he use seat belts in his VF-1A? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXXxxx Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 there are also pics of the Seat Belts/Restraints for the yf19(and maybe the 21 too) in the Macross Plus Game Edition Book (and possibly the TIAS:M+ / M+Movie too, I don't remember right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Max and Millia especially need them restraints. I see the immense amount of inertia they go through in the M3 op. They were literally standing in their cockpits, fighting intertia...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
