Pilot modelling within the cockpit?

[Luno13]

To me, flying around in an empty cockpit isn't unrealistic. I'm simply imagining myself there. If I saw a body in the pit, I would think I had a twin growing out of my neck and sitting on my lap, or at least that I was in another man's body. Weird huh?

Anyway, the reason why pilot's aren't going to make it in CloD is because of the wide range of available cockpits and pilot customizations. The dev team would have to position the pilot model properly for each customization (you wouldn't want that flight jacket and life preserver clipping anything). Animations would complicate this by a factor of 10.

It's not that the devs don't care about the product, it's that they have limited time and budget which is better spent producing maps, planes, and other upgrades.
