KOM.Nausicaa, you are correct. I know how the "simple animations" from 3DS max are convoluted translated into hier.him and other files that control all the cockpit and I imagine is a PITA for one guy to do it. But... so is the whole game after all... if enough want the game... the game gets out. If enough want the pilot... the pilot will get out.
However... we... the supporters of "optional in cockpit viewable pilot" are asking if the pilot canot be modeled due to resource shortage at least let the door opened to moding it after release.
But... we are "welcomed" by people that say: ...due to resource limitations and the fact that we hate (for psyhological reasons we do not disclose) what you like, not only that the pilot should not be included... but the door to moding it should be firmly closed and all people asking for it should be ridiculed with Barbie doll wet dreams comparisions and stuff....
If you know what I mean
