metalfan_6666 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Unlike other aircraft in DCS like the P-51 or the Huey, there doesnt seem to be a visible pilot in the Bf-109. There's a bindable key in the control options for the 109, but it doesn't work (at least not for me). My question is: is it possible to get a visible pilot in the 109 or is not implemented?

metalfan_6666 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Will be available in the release version. ok thanks for the info racoon. Do you know when it will be released? It's in the beta for 1,5 years now...
ED Team Racoon Posted March 23, 2016 ED Team Posted March 23, 2016 Very soon. We're working on last bugs and tutorial missions now.
Milopapa Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Very soon. We're working on last bugs and tutorial missions now. Any updates on this? Now that I'm flying in VR, the missing body doesn't help with the immersion. Big Messer fan but I usually revert to the Mustang because of this.

Talisman_VR Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Any updates on this? Now that I'm flying in VR, the missing body doesn't help with the immersion. Big Messer fan but I usually revert to the Mustang because of this. For me the pilot body in a plane that I am flying spoils immersion and just looks like a cartoon that reminds me I am in a game. I am flying the plane and I want to see the controls without looking around a dummies hand or arm or leg. I hope we will always be given the option to keep the dummy out of the cockpit. Pilot for external view only for me. Thank you. Happy landings, Talisman
Milopapa Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) You can't argue with preferences, I guess. Since I have a full HOTAS including rudder and an extended stick between my legs, the fully syncronized movements of the limbs ADDS to my immersion. Staring at pedals moving by themselves when I move my legs is a distraction to me and the same with the stick. I don't mind peering around things, that's what VR is really good at. Also, you'd need to do the same think in real life, wouldn't you?

Also, you'd need to do the same think in real life, wouldn't you? I don't stare at pedals or stick when using them as I am looking outside the aircraft to fly, track a bandit in dogfight, checking six or trying to look at the instruments (ball in case of rudder). I spend a lot of time with my left hand on the trim controls but I think the in-game dummy arm and hand in the cockpit tends to keep left hand on throttle all the time. For me, I am flying the plane and not the dummy thing (the dummy body is not moving the same as my body, so not simulating me, I am not a simulation, I am me). Happy landings, Talisman

ED Team Racoon Posted May 19, 2016 ED Team Posted May 19, 2016 Can we expect it patched in soon? I hope so. But there are always new bugs that should be fixed before release.

rrohde Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Very nice! Pilots should be visible (if desired) in any aircraft!
