bkthunder Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Hello, considering that all new modules (and even the oldest one - Ka-50) from ED have a virtual pilot in the cockpit, wouldn't it be the case to add it also to the A-10C? Why is it that the only 2 modern american airplanes in the sim (A-10 and F-15) are missing virtual pilots, where all the russian ones have it? ( I am talking about ED modules).

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 12, 2016 ED Team Posted April 12, 2016 I am sure it will happen in the future, having your own body in vr helps with the experience. I would assume it is just a matter of time and resources for ED, and they are very busy at the moment. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Doesn't seem like a huge task but I'm sure ED have their hands full with all the products in the pipeline. Still, a little attention to keep the older modules up to standard would always be very welcome, especially considering the A-10 is still the flagship DCS module :thumbup: Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s
Blaze Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 This is something I'm still not sure why it's not a standard across the modules. Either they should all have it or not. It's a pretty easy thing to implement, too. Hopefully in the future the missing ones will be updated. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

paulca Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 The problem with this is that the pilot will obscure many things in the cockpit. If you look at a number of cockpit videos you will see that the pilots knees are often obscuring things. His elbows and arms will be obscuring things. In the real world the pilot can move his arms and legs to see things obscured by them, but that would add a whole bunch of unnatural controls for us. With TrackIR you can I suppose lean your head around to look around the pilots legs/arms/hands. Personally I just think it's a childish feature that might impress kids with big imaginations but personally I would find it a gimmicky and silly bubble gum feature.
Blaze Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 That's why there's a toggle to turn the pilot on/off. It's silly to be flying in an empty cockpit with the controls moving themselves.
