will flight sims ever get a model'd pilot
 

I mean in-cockpit, so if you look down you can see your legs, and hands
Has any flight sim ever done this?

Sorry im a bit bored with the wait, so i thought id start my own pointless thread :rolleyes:
but anyways my question still stands

DCS: Black Shark - you can turn the pilot model on/off

not sure if it is the same in A10c I haven't tried.

Funny thing is ive got black shark, and i never knew that lol, not installed no more
and ive got dcs a10c installed, but i dont think they included it, not sure:confused:

I'm glad we don't have one.

A "pilot" would obscure too many controls in the cockpit because of our 2D view.

Also it would take valuable computer power that is best spent on other things.

As far as I remember, Falcon 4.0 (or a mod for that super- sim) had it. :confused:http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tbHfaj1A05..._screen003.jpg

there's also a new model pilot for DCS-Black Shark
make a search in Lock on files community

not true, most computers now days should be able to handle anything, apart from this, Its only this game, i no that is completly messed up...:rolleyes:
no it wouldnt abscure the controls, because you make it transparent like the control stick in Dcs A10, because theres switches behind it if you hover your mouse over the control stick it becomes transparent:grin:

as far as i know, seems like "Take on Helicopters" includes the arms and the legs, but awkwardly shape. if they can't make them look right, i would rather not having the arms and legs.

Condor Soaring :cool:
Full animated aircraft controls.

Yeah, there is definitely a modelled pilot in Black Shark. It's not really anything to write home about though.

I wouldn't mind the leggs with a click on map on the leg But i'll pass on the arms unless its narrow on top of the leggs

Never seen Spit Girl, and probably never will as I only fly online, er... well, at least in IL2 '46. Offline is for testing.

And as for "transparent" pilot effects, that will indeed take more cycles, and if it's transparent, why freaking bother?

Is true ... because Mr. ElAurens is talking about this "game" Sad ...

For me it would not add anything to my immersion in the game. What benifits would it have except for film making?

Just like pilots in the other sims that have been mentioned, it would be canned, scripted, look very tacky and unrealistic in actual game play.

Would you expect the uniform of the pilot to be changed based upon the pilot dress set up with all it's various dress options?

It would add to the Immersion though. you have all these nice dynamic shadows in the cockpit its a bit weird that the pilot is invisible/transparent. I tend to turn it on in BlackShark anyway. If I was a developer I'd go 1 step further and have the pilots head follow your camera view movements (especially for replays and such)

I guess until the major problems with CoD are fixed its all a bit mehh...

this is the Case for a-10 anyway. the pilots head does track externally !

not having a pilot in the A-10 is one of my pet hates. sadly though its for a good reason. One day we will see the animated version using all the controls.

Ok, but please remember there`s hardly anything that wasn`t debated about IL2 and SOW in particular. Needless to say, we also had a discussion about this in ORR. The voices were close to equal for and against modelling the body of the pilot. Maddox logic says if the current setting doesn`t get majority against, then it stays. One of the reasons we don`t have that in CloD.

Yes, Carenado addons models for FS2004 or FSX for example. Pilot or crew are dynamic and you see the mouvement of the head as example.
