There are lots of people in the world that are not happy unless they are complaining about something.

Unfortunately, most of them seem to congregate in flight sim forums.

These are the same folks that will tell a pilot who has actually flown a WW2 aircraft that their impressions and observations of the real thing are wrong. (I've seen that happen at an airshow once).

Bone-Domes were not used in the BoB! The flying helmet does not make ones head look that big; although the b-type flying helmet does make one look like they have big ears!

Default Gentleman, I have found something!

If we look at historical picture of a man in to the Hurricane cockpit, while the aircraft is on the ground, and he seems small, thats because this person is NOT wearing parachute! When the pilot is siting over parachute he seems higher!!!

Oleg, please make some bigger parachutes...and may be some bigger pilots...

Cheers!
