Good point, but in many respects it is possible in Il-2 with the adjust-seat position command. however, I don't know how hard it'd be to model this having an effect (visually) on the pilot...and then you need to program it for the AI too and have it affect visability...man it gets complicated.

edit post is your friend.

as for the epilepsy inducing picture, it's two different angles, what appears to be a different mark of hurri, and the pilot is wearing a huge helmet. the underside of the two images doesn't match, and in fact the only bit where they do is on the front canopy frame and mirror. even then, the different height of the camera between the two images renders it pretty useless.

talk about irrelevant.

and that probably counts for most of the last 29 pages.

The blinkin pict posted by airmalik at first convinced me the error was in canopy dimension but here is my contribution (another blinkin pict).
there is some difference but less dramatic than you might think.
i focused on canopy area, matching canpoy and wing root. I've no reference to judge the different nose and conseguent mismatch. (different engine for sure).
Cheers
Why are you trying to compare a guy with a modern helmet on and a different model hurricane with a picture at a different angle, model and helmet?

Sometimes you guys are just ridiculous.

Somebody tried to compare just pictures to come to a conclusion that Oleg is wrong. Worse, these pictures are from different angle, different distance and with different pilots. I just don't understand how you guys can't figure the simplest solution out: take the manufactory datas of Hurricane, see how high/ how low the seat could be, compare them to the size of "SOW pilot" (which, IIRC, is 175cm high) and come to a conclusion yourselves.

I know not everyone of us have access to those datas. I don't, but Oleg surely does. But, for God sake, whoever doesn't have them, don't try to be an expert and outsmart the ones who know Hurricane "mathematically", not just from a few pictures. Unless someone can show us the right datas and prove that the picture is wrong, the discussion is pretty pointless.

Ok forgive me,
I didn't menage to attach the right picture to better explain my arguments, obviusly I compared images/pictures taken in quiet same perspective conditions. I feel ridicolous cause I wasn't able to correctly post with correct attachments, not because I pretended to compare 2 incomparable pictures representing 2 incomparable objects. I would be foul in this attempt.
Moreover, I'm far to 'outsmart' anyone, it's not my hobby. My argument came to a conclusion that Oleg was right (or not so wrong).
Topic closed.
Cheers

I appreciate what your trying to do...but your presentation might be more effective if the angle of the aeroplane (from the viewers perspective) was the same in both pictures.

I'm the 'author' of that animated pic. Sorry if it's causing epileptic seizures

I had to make do with what I could find online. Most pictures are shot by people standing level with the plane. The SOW shot is from higher up. The photo I used had to be flipped over and I adjusted the scale to match it to the SOW one based on the size of the tires.

I realise there's a lot of variables b/w the two (angle, model, helmet etc.) but despite these differences, the pilot in the SOW screenshot appears tiny to me. It could be an optical illusion or a number of things others have written about but the bottom line is that the SOW screenshot looks odd to me.

I any case, it's just something to talk about until the next update and this will be the last thing I'll be worrying about when the game's finally in my hands. Hopefully soon now.

cheers!
