fl0w Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I am aware of the fact that the Viggen doesn't have this, but can we have an option to show our pilot body as well? Since we are able to see JESTER's or the pilots. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhunter Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It was promised for both the Viggen (more than a year ago actually, the model should be done even so no idea what's taking so long) and the F-14 later in early access. I mean, you can see the pilot body when flying as RIO so no idea why it's not implemented yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl0w Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 I hope this is on their priority list. Its kind of an immersion killer for me, especially with the other pilot showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl0w Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 I would especially love to see the RIO pilot body particularly for takeoff, so we can put our hand automatically on the rail to grab once the Pilot salutes. Maybe a multi-crew thing, but would be very nice to see. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TargetDrone Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I haven't flown with a pilot body, but does it hamper your ability to see the buttons? I do like the pilot head in mirrors. Makes me eat the frame rate 'cause I think it looks so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me eat the frame rate 'cause I think it looks so cool. It does but once in flight and combat you usually don't really mess around with the sidepanels too much. Then again you can always bind one key to show/hide the pilot body. Adds a great deal of immersion to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Hornet since I never hide the stick, I re-mapped Backspace to pilot body. I’m waiting to do the same in the Cat. i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...

Jazz_44 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Curious about this as well, I know that adding a pilot body is a priority (early access road map). Is it possible it will be included in next week's update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl0w Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Just bumping this. As far as news-wise for the next F-14B update, HB has said that they are mainly focusing on a lot of performance fixes and FM improvements. The pilot body (I assume at this stage) is a low priority issue that can easily be enabled by visibility track means in the cockpit 3D model.

Airhunter Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 But then again, I'm sure the people working on systems are not the ones working on visuals + modeling. Like, how hard can it be to include a pilot body? Afaik the Hornet launched with one into EA. Same goes for the Viggen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra847 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) But then again, I'm sure the people working on systems are not the ones working on visuals + modeling. Like, how hard can it be to include a pilot body? Afaik the Hornet launched with one into EA. Same goes for the Viggen... How hard can it be to model the entire cockpit, exterior, texture it in extremely high fidelity, create the liveries, animate it, create damage models, collision models, crew animations, new visual features... [..insert artist related task here].. and ship all of that in a polished state? :P My obnoxiously sarcastic point is that resources are finite. In a vacuum, adding a pilot cockpit body is easy. With a long laundry list of improvements, corrections and changes to be made - it becomes less trivial. Trust me, we'd love to have it done and dusted already! :) Viggen body not being available yet is a sore spot though. :( Edited June 4, 2019 by Cobra847 Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl0w Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 I get it, priorities make first headlines. The acknowledgment from the developers is always better than nothing. I still remain the same on this front: always focus on fixing bugs first before working on implementing new features. Adding things with things that are broken doesn't feel right, but doing both is workable. I still have my money laid on this module Nick, you haven't ripped anyone off here. The work on the Tomcat is incredible. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airasys Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Adding my name to the (wish we had a visible pilot in the F-14) list. As others have mentioned in VR this feature contributes a great deal to the total immersion experience. The F-18 pilot is fantastic example by the way! I am very much looking forward to seeing this level of detail also integrated in the F-14. Hats off to the development team for their efforts in creating an amazing product!
