kobalt_ Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Hey, Just updated to latest version of DCS (1.2.12) today, starting a new flight in Ka-50. Nice, now i see my virtual pilot body : I play with a TrackIR. Question : how to reach right panel now ? :music_whistling: See the problem ? Even when moving my head/view to top right corner, i'm still unable to reach some buttons : Virtual pilot body is a great addition for realism though. Not blaming ED here, and I don't know what solution could be used, except having a one-armed pilot :lol: Disabling pilot body for now :smilewink:

kontiuka Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Also, I think the pilot body has been there for a while. Well before 1.2.12. Edited December 4, 2014 by kontiuka

kobalt_ Posted December 4, 2014 Author Posted December 4, 2014 Well... Been using this module for a few months now, and this is the first time i see a virtual pilot body... Maybe the option was unticked and the update reenabled it. Thx for the keyboard shortcut.
Tone71 Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Also, I think the pilot body has been there for a while. Well, before 1.2.12. I bought BS2 2 years ago and it's been there at least that long!

Bucic Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 The pilot body is there since the very beginning, i.e. BS1. You can quickly disable it as washout said. Also, for those not using TIR there's a way to move the camera anywhere in the cockpit quickly and easily.

King_Hrothgar Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Funny, I've had the Ka-50 since BS1 as well and never saw a pilot body till last night in it. I have a pilot body in some of the other planes.
Suchacz Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 You could switch on/off the pilot body since the BS1. The pilot dissapears with the introduction of A-10C Per aspera ad astra!

It's always been off by default. In the Shark I tend to complete startup and then enable it.

arkroyale048 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 It gets even worse when you try to reach for the ekran switch. I've known for a while that the pilot body option has been there for a long time. Just that for me it doesnt work when I use the ricardo cockpit mod. This is the first time I had the body work while having the cockpit mod. OT: is the kneeboard functional ? Can i put in my own images in there ?

313_Nevo Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 kneeboard functional? yes of course, search this forums for the keyword 'kneeboard' :)

Flycat Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 well,however it's a simulator,the virtual body will become obstruction between real pilot and virtual cockpit. LOL
dsobbe Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Just for info, I'm still using BS1 and it has the visible pilot. TrackIR allows you to move your head, and view, forward, backward and side to side. Then you can see all of the side and rear panels, even with the pilot visible. Check the TrackIR manual and program to find out which axis controls those movements. But even being able to see the panels with TrackIR it's still sometimes easier to use the default NumPad 0+3 keys to view the right hand panel as you get a larger fixed view; which makes it much easier to throw switches and push buttons.

latware Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 To the topic :smilewink:: I use 6DOF TIR and no bigger problem (BS1). However without pilot's body it's better, see headless man.:megalol: greetings latware (Intel Core i7-4790K;NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970;2xdisplay 1920x1080;Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar+pedals;TrackIR3 6DOF)
