VR pilot body?

[YoYo]

Will it be or not (from the beginning or later)? Razbam did great job with his F-15 pilot from beginning, I hope we will see pilot body too in F-4E.

Example (F-15E) :

Definitely! It feels really weird flying around in an empty cockpit.

No answer yet? I asked a couple of times on Discord. But my question got buried under other replies.

Well, considering there's an actual pilot customizer as seen in some vids I'd be very surprised if we didn't get the body too.

I thought it was pretty obvious, from the detail shown in the release trailer for example. Why would HB bother putting so much detail in the pilot model if it wasn't available in first-person?

Its not officially confirmed. These are separate 3D models.

I mean we haven't actually seen one in any of the previews, just an empty cockpit. So unless the devs confirm or show one I'd rather not expect it.

I'm not a "DCS movie maker guy" but i thought the in-cockpit shots in the trailers and especially the airshow video were taken with some sort of F1 in cockpit snapview cam montage - you can see all the vibrating cockpit parts in that view, i don't think this will be visible with the F2 view external model and pilot body? So if there is a F1 view customable pilot body it should be visible in VR too? (although I always fly without a visible body in vr)

The video is shot on an external model with a close-up of the pilot from the external model, not the internal one (which has no head after all).

Looks like i'm not uptodate with DCS pilot bodys anymore  Stopped using them years ago but i hope for everyone that it will be implemented with the EA release or shortly after.

Hi,
I don't understand, did you get the pilot body in F1 view ?
If yes, how ?
Thanks.

Toggle pilot key (you need to add the key, example RCtrl+P).

I bind that to a HOTAS , very convenient when the body covers panels or switches.

Love the VR body, thanks Heatblur!!

Ah OK, thanks.

I tried the (usually) default RShift + P

[t-stoff]

is there a way to put it on by default?

+!

Yes, it is meant to follow the setting in your DCS settings, but that currently doesnt work.
