Show Pilot

[_Hoss]

I was wondering why I can't see the pilot and navigator in the cockpit with it turned on in the settings. I also have it bound (Show Pilot) on my controller systems and also in Voice Command. I never see it, which has me perplexed because in Reflected's video on his campaign, he has this feature turned on. 

Inquiring minds would like to know....

There are no pilot models for the cockpit.

Which video would that be? Reflected provided excellent faux-navigator voiceovers in his campaign, but that's about it.

He cheated then and used that other Sim's external view to show Pilot and Navigator... that cheeky sod. 

It's his 'V for Victory' video, where he talks about his scripted navigator.

Nah! I checked my system and  I get pilot bodies in external views, but not when I am in the cockpit.

Strange - Maybe there is not enough room for 3 of us in the cockpit.

You could squeeze one laying on his belly in the nose and one or two in the bomb bay .

Nah, he uses DCS allright, but the sim utilizes separate 3D model for cockpit view and separate one (with simplified geometry and texturing) for externals. That applies to all aircraft for that matter and to other flight sims as well. That's why crew model is always visible in externals even if it's disabled or not even implemented in cockpit.

I keep forgetting the Mossie is still "Early Release". Behind the Jug it's my second favorite warbird. The Mustang needs some 4k rework done inside and out, to bring up to the Jug, Mossie, and the new Corsair's level of detail.
