Let's talk about pilot customisation

[Tavingon]

Does anyone else do this? I find it a really nice touch in the game, maybe more stuff will be added in the future.
For italian pilots theres not much choice.. I thought they would be more fashion consious!

I did not mess with that yet, can you add/change to any face that you want, even your own.

No, only two different faces for Luftwaffe/RAF pilots and only one for Regia Aeronautica flyers. Yes, the poor Italian pilot doesn't have a lot to choose from and he doesn't have a speech pack either, speaks fluent German though.:grin:

Good luck ordering a pizza with no anchovies! :-P

Of course this should be low priority, but I hope that some day there are plenty of possible customizations for the pilots. As you say, it adds a nice touch to the game.

Played around with it a bit when making video's. Couldn't find a way to remove the earphones and just have a bare-headed character. Made me think about making a video with some modern day dude in a generic looking flight-suit bopping along to music on his headphones while he flies and maintains an old Tiger Moth or something...Maybe there'll be a way for modders to customize things a bit more when the SDK comes out.

[Troll2k]

It was nice to be able to do it in 1946.

Notice the color coordinated gloves,flight cap,harness and boots.Also the T2k on the lapels.

[CaptainDoggles]

Given that I never see the pilot, and others don't get close enough to make out the details...

No.

[Skoshi Tiger]

As long as we've got a optional cigar, pipe or pilot reading a map, I doubt we'ld need much else.

As i read in the manual, this will be updated. So later on you can see your rank etc.

I quite like that option, I just wish there were more options for italian pilots, I doubt they would be flying a G.50 with a peaked cap :-P

Maybe Hitler's panzer cap would do...
