They do look small...but midgets?

To me the bigger problem is the pilot posture...they seem too straight backed, like they have a broomstick from the top of his head to his bum.

The rest of the update is great!!

I'm just curious if anyone has noticed that like when you go into a store and stuff, that like the clothes come in different sizes? I'm wondering if that's because people do or do people all come in like the same size according to aircraft cockpits and I just never noticed?

Sure, you can get clothes for midgets, or they would all be walking round naked??

I dont see the point in your comment BadAim, so far I haven't seen any size differences in pilots and they are all very short, maybe they were all a little smaller 70 years ago, but theyre still a tad to small in my opinion. But maybe that's not what you meant at all.

Maybe someone could post the WW2 regulations that state that to gain entrance into the Luftwaffe you had to be a 6'2" and broad shouldered.

We know that the aircraft were built to specs and the pilot modeled was the average size for the time. We also know that the pilots head moves where we are looking. I think I remember that there were some issues with pilot head movement and 6 DOF in cockpit. They may have made a compromise. 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.

Of course my Wife notices everything.
