Logic related to Pilot, as a whole or in part, is obsolete in Tiberian Sun to Yuri's Revenge.

Presumably, this flag would have defined the infantry that parachutes from an aircraft when it is destroyed while in flight. Such a logic exists in Red Alert but it isn't tied to any rules.ini key.

This flag is read but it does nothing.

-This defines the InfantryType that parachutes from an AircraftType when it is destroyed. Again, this is parsed and acknowledged but I have not seen this work - the Crashable=yes tag assigned to aircraft means the crew do not actually escape, although the probability of this working may be increased if CrewEscape= (see above) is set to 100%. It may not even work due to incomplete code or unless some other special condition is set. You should ensure this is set to a valid infantry unit, and ensure that infantry unit is listed in the [InfantryTypes] list and is defined as per all other infantry units. Because there are two factions in Red Alert 2 (three in Yuri's Revenge), it is safest to define this as a Technician (CTECH) otherwise a faction could obtain a unit belonging to another. Although this feature worked in Red Alert, this tag was added in Tiberian Sun but did not appear to work then either - it appears that the code acknowledges the tag but does nothing with it.
