requested Pilot mask missed

[OLD CROW]

With all that new update tech overhauling,.... is it scheduled any visual pilot mask implementation? Cause poor mustang pilots are the olders also the only ones who don't wear one 

[Flappie]

You're right. Request made internally.

[OLD CROW]

is anybody there? 

Cheap & fast suggestion: Copy P-47's pilot 3D model & scripts and paste in the mustang folder

No news so far.

I guess so... after 9 months..... But the problem is mine not their: If I would have done maths correctly and had applied a rule of three: They have fixed the cooling problem after 10 years, and not in all models..., Fool of me I was expecting from them to fix a mask visual issue in less than 10 months....My apologies! Sorry but  from my point of view, reminder: I'm a customer-user-player, WW2 section is a nowadays NONSENSE, has been a NONSENSE for 10 years... and the near future doesn't look better. The policy of LACK OF NEWS IS GOOD NEWS doesn't work here.... all the opposite... and for details, maybe considered by a few (the diehards), stupids like a mask or lack of it and other bigger ones than this for YEARS are clear clues for "the white collars" to stop wondering why WW2 section are the niche of the niche of the niche of the niche... First fix the problems that every single A/C models have been dragging for years, fussion and optimize the 2 maps (Normandy & Channel) and then you can think in BIG.

P.S.: ...and don't get me wrong. I said what I've said not because I could be considered a troll in this forum, I said what I've said cause I think WW2 section needs a faster progression... but like every single human being I can have infinite patience.... but what I really have is finite time.

A correctly modelled WWII pilot would be much better than just a mask.

Fully agree with you... Anything would be much better than all we have had / have not had for SEVERAL years. But be patience I wrote first post in 2021 (...and beyond) demanding a simple mask they forgot to implement 10 years before that post. No news from ED til then. So.... Do you really think they're going to resize all pilot model with all that it implies in less time than just modeling and implementing just a part of it? I mean.... if you resize the entire pilot model you have to resize all aircraft 3D model, just to be consistent between the pilot scale and the aircraft scale, otherwise it would be like a LEGO doll riding the He-Man's BattleCat. And if you resize the visuals you have to resize all internal systems also the DM hit boxes, etc,etc,etc,.... ad infinitum. Most people know (or asume) Mustang pilot in this sim was born and raised in the same lab as Captain America or Hulk meanwhile the british one was raised among pygmies of the rainforest. That's the main reason why mustang pilots did not suffering from hypoxia beyond 25,000 feet with no mask also the british "MINI" was not only one of the most famous compact car of all times, it also was the nick used to "kindly" call the spitfire pilots... for obvious reasons. This is somenthing I've learnt reading the EDpedia and this is as true as I'm a talking jackdaw.

Could you be so kind as to recontact the producers after this short period of time, almost 2 years, and kindly let them know that what users of this simulator really want is for the modules to truly simulate things that affect and modify the modules "in flight" than "on ground"? Frankly, the experimental independent suspension technology they are using in certain modules, and developing to make the Abrahams feel every bump on the ground, is of zero concern to users in a module that flies and where hypoxia, or the lack of it, is more important due to not breathing 100% oxygen from an altitude at which historically this plane regularly operated.

Then, we have to hear or read from people who self-proclaim themselves as opinion and/or content creators that the modules offered in this simulator are undoubtedly the most realistic on the market. I can understand this for modules implemented recently under the Early Access label, but for modules that have been on the market for a decade, it is embarrassing, to put it mildly.

The reality is that no one flies at 35,000 feet in WW2 DCS, mainly because the maps are short, the missions offered are minimal, and the nemesis models fly at lower altitudes to better exploit their flight characteristics. We know that a paint job might be a minor detail for many purists who defend this simulator as if their lives depended on it, and that the rest of us are at least trolls who don't want it to progress. Here's a response to that: there's little to no progress if the offered product is mediocre and/or its developers don't show any intention to improve it. This is one of those uncomfortable cases where it's better to let non-positive comments blend in with the comments from the "cult friends" who do no favors to ALL users of this game (Because this is a GAME indeed).

Users of a "game as a service" must learn to be more critical of what is offered to them, and criticism, even if some don't like it, serves in 100% of cases to improve the service and/or product for ALL users of it.

Please convey this message to the producers, and hopefully, after almost 2 years, you can change the refrain from "No news so far" to "there's something new(s) to talk about it/them." Thanks in advance, fly safe and godspeed.

Come on, I can chuckle and sympathise with the rest of it but I can’t just let that go. 

This is most definitely a simulator .  It isn’t really a game when you’re procuring peripherals as wonderous as many of us choose to do. The carefully chosen flying suit (pyjama bottoms), the expensive flying boots (comfy slippers), the countless hours of training , these things are all taken most seriously and shouldn’t be confused with trivial follies like eye spy or hopscotch.

Yes, we may look a little different some of us, with our blurred faces and our odd way of peering our heads from side to side but we are a proud people’s, a pedantic people’s, a pixelated peoples. Some may appear shorter in stature than others though we shouldn’t cast aspersions nor judge proportions on account of it.

I’m sure a little patience will go a long way. Many of us have lists of things to do that sometimes get forgotten for say a decade or two. Which reminds me, I left the gas on… It ain’t so bad. Think how thrilled we’ll be to see the change when (if) it comes. We may as well pencil it in as done already.

Until then, blue skies Crow

I cannot pass up the opportunity to greet another proud member of the select sect of irony and sarcasm. Welcome to the club. The more of us there are the more we will laugh.

Come in and take a seat... it's going to be a long time journey, I hope to be mistaken on that, but meanwhile take a seat, just in case.

Blue skies and comfy slippers for you too Slippa.

I have a pair of custom knit flying socks. I also sent my wingman a pair. Nothing worse than cold rudder pedals.

 for a few seconds I've been really tempted to mark your post as a solution of this bug report. Even writting this line I'm laughing and still tempted... I bet you 5 dollars they'd close this bug report as soon as I'd mark this even it were the most hilarious and surreal text in the world .
