General questions to ED about the VR pilot body.

[Crash *]

Hello.

I love DCS and especially in VR. Unfortunately, many modules do not have a pilot body yet, so the seat is empty during the flight. This is bad for the immersion and bothers me unfortunately.

I have a few general questions and would be very happy if they could be answered.

1) Will the current modules like F-16, AH-64, Mi-24 still get a pilot body?
2) Will there be one for A-10 II or for KA-50 III?
3) Does everything have to be made from scratch for each module, or can you take an existing body from another module and adapt it to the respective cockpit?
4) Can I expect a pilot body for each module in the future?
5) The F-18 had its pilot body relatively promptly, why is this not the case for the other modules?

I don't want to push or etch with these questions, but I and I'm sure many other users would like clarity.
For everyone else: You can turn off the pilot body if it bothers you. So please don't comment on it. I understand you too.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Yes they are planned. Currently work on the helo pilots is in progress, and after the fixed wing pilots

It is planned, but I can not give any ETA

not all pilot models are the same, they have many different characteristics, so it can take a lot of time

We would certainly like all modules to have pilot bodies but that depends on time and resources.

As mentioned above there is a lot of work involved with the pilot bodies, it just depends what tasks the art team have and the resource available at the time.

Thank you very much Bignewy.

Did not expect such a quick response to all questions.

This really gives me some peace of mind and I am really looking forward to the future achievements.

Would be nice if we could see if a pilot body is planned for a module, before we buy. Somewhere in the features list perhaps? For me personally it would decide whether to purchase (support the dev by buying EA) or not. I don't mind waiting for it, as long as some day I won't have to fly in an empty cockpit.

 

Really can't wait for those helo pilot bodies and (most of all) the Viper pilot body!

My expectations are super high ED. You can thank RAZBAM for that* 

 

 

pilot body in the AV8B is definitely setting the standard currently*
