And a moving chest when the pilot breathes. Would also be indispensable for a flight simulator.

Don't catch a splitter ...

 

Pilot's graphical representation or animation is surely not a high priority task considering long-time bugs and performance issues in DCS, but where do you see a problem to add it to the wishlist?

[norbot]

In my opinion the graphical represetation or animation of the pilot is absolutely irrelevant for a flight simulator. In a simulator you are sitting inside a cockpit while looking outside. Everything else is arcade gaming. So I don‘t need to see the pilot‘s eyes (wether blinking or not). The moving chest was a bad joke. Investing time in the pilot‘s face is a waste of time - especially as long as we have lots of major bugs in DCS.

I do not deem a pilot an explicit arcade gaming element. As a pilot can see other pilots in their fixed or rotory wings from outside, e.g. when flying close formation, therefore pilots are essential objects of the simulation just as animated flaps, moving gears, blinking lights, wake turbulance etc. 

 

I absolutely agree here: A simulator has to be left a simulator and must not be(come) arcade gaming by any means.

It's always a compromise. You can't obviously see the eyes since pilots wear glasses, googles, visors but Heatblur's F-14 level animations when pilots look around the cockpit add lot of life, realism and authenticity.

Especially for the bubble canopy planes where the pilot is a big and very well visible part of the aircraft.

I know Star Citizen can track player's face expression by using a camera, maybe that's something ED could do in future.

Pilot hand animation for hand signals would actually be useful. I dont see any point in facial expression animation
