Unfortunately sometimes compromises have to made when trying to turn our desktops into Spitfires,etc.

The pilots in some pics do sometimes look slightly smaller than they should, but frankly I don't spend my time analyzing screenshots. To me its more about the flying and combat, where most of my attention is to the sky,scanning the terrain for targets, and checking cockpit gauges. I probably won't notice that my wingmans head is slightly too small or the hood fastener on the engine compartment are not quite right.
