TO BE MORE CLEAR ON MY OPINION...body's should be thrown about (like "rag dolls") by the shock wave, but we should not see blood, or dismemberment. Bullets and crashes and other aspects of the damage model that are included in the new game should have a realistic impact on the "human analog" but ONLY in a "rag doll" effect...

What do you kind folks think?

p.s. Of course these options should be selectable...




I have often imagined a "pilots reflection" in the glass or chrome or mirrors....

Very wise variant! Rag doll! Perfect. No blood. Perfect solution!

I like that idea, much better than nothing at all, it would still be nice to have enable/disable full gore in config though.

sounds like a fair compromise

but its all speculation really, its fairly safe to assume oleg has already decided on how to represent killed/wounded crew and pilots (since we have such detailed modeling of humans now, and articulated movements etc). i suspect it will be something like figures slumping or collapsing, without much blood or gore

It does not fit. Or may be, the passengers will fly "sleeping" a 100 meters away?

Cheers!

Mate, i was talking about shot pilots trapped in their safety belts. NOT about busses full of people.
