AV8BNA VR Pilot in the works.

Recommended Posts

Ok...

 

Update on the VR Pilot for the AV8BNA.

 

Now the Mirage 2000C VR Pilot is finished and soon to be pushed out to everyone in the next update. I have set up the Harrier pilot on the seat jig to start scanning and begin high poly mesh cleanup. Hopefully that will be done in the next week. Then most of the work will be in lower poly retopo'd model that will be used in game.

 

I working to give you a gorgeous VR Harrier pilot just like the NEW Mirage VR pilot coming out in the next update.

So the arms are rigged to our hand controllers? Or it's just a static model like the usual optional pilots? I ask cause you keep emphasising ''VR'' pilot

+1 I would also like clarification on this.

"VR Pilot" means this pilot will be seen when using VR only. Animations will be fully done as per the M2000C pilot (Example: so when you move your stick the pilots arms move with the stick or your legs with the pedals etc).

 

May I also say that Tim has done a fantastic job with the M2000C pilo, outstanding work, strapped into the seat harness and everything :).

 

Good work Tim :)

Great. Harrier's cockpit looks so empty in VR.

And seeing what you've achieved with Mirage pilot I'm confident with result.

 

Yeah, the mirage pilot is great, looking forward to the harrier and I suppose mig19 pilot at some point? I guess you're gonna need a collector for that old gear.

Wow your starting to plough through the pilot body work any chance you can make one for all modules in dcs missing one, just kidding really appreciate this

Not just for VR it works in 2D

Thanks for the compliments.

 

Update on the Harrier Pilot.

 

Been a little delayed as I am still waiting for "Belleville Brown Leather 330ST Flight Boots" <--- What the Navy and Marines use cause of all the controversy last time with the "walking" mirage pilot not having the correct foot wear. This time I am making sure this doesn't happen like we did with the Mirage VR pilot using Lowa issued boots.

I never really feel the need for the VR pilot and thought it was a nice to have. But I must admit that the mirage pilot changed my thinking.

 

It's really an amazing good job and I am already impatient to see the Harrier pilot.

One thing I wish could be done with the VR pilots in general is to have some way of having them move the throttle arm out of the way instead of turning off the pilot to access some of the obscured switches. To an extent both "sides" can do this, but it would be cool to have an animated move the arm out of the way instead of turning the whole pilot off for a sec and then turning them back on.

Applying arms opacity when the mouse cursor is on the left/right console could be a workaround. But its more important to avoid complex calculation and fps drop for this kind of nice to have features. Same idea for the throttle and stick

@Timghetta: Fantastic work on the M2000C pilot; love the subtle and realistic animations while flying.

 

Really looking forward to this one as well.

With that level of quality, I would gladly pay for that. Good idea, actually!

@Timghetta Would you say there is a chance for animating the pilot arm, leg and torso movements so it does not block the view to some elements in the cockpit? If no, is that due to the EDGE engine or simply a matter of man power? Because that could a first and unique feature of your modules.

That would indeed set a new (and long wished for) standard!

 

And it would give the AV8B module an awesome new unique selling point :thumbup:
