and a comparison showing midget pilot and ground crew:

I like this picture... (isn't that one straight from the naval-history and heritage site (iirc?), there's a whole bunch of those pictures with captions there depicting US carriers and destroyers... ok, that's OT but I was just curious )

yep, hurri pilot seems a bit too small...

Can we stop the talk on the pilot size now...? I think that Oleg and Luthier have got the point, and clearly will choose to change it if they really want.
Their lack of invoice on this hopefully means that they're hard at work, but I presume their not interested in delving into this discussion further.

If Oleg's hopes for October are still on the table, then they must be working really hard now to get the game out soon.

Philip.Ed: I totally agree...
Let's quit the pilotsize issue

Goodnight gentlemen!

I'm sure the developers stopped monitoring this insanity quite awhile ago. I'm sure the aircraft are built to scale and the pilots to 175cm. or 5' 9", they've noted our complaints, but are complaints are based on very poor data, other than what we feel looks right.

Is there a thumbs up icon in here.

The developers are probably following this thread on the first day only.

The thread goes off on tangents after the first day. People just quit paying attention and it goes into the wild blue yonders.

[AdMan]

oh so they wore these in WW2??


lmfao

people also conveniently ignore that last week there was a shot of the pilot's feet not reaching the pedals

What most people "complaining" about pilot size fail to relize is:

1# That Oleg and team have a accuratly moddeld Hurri ( down to an inch) where they place a pilot in the seat (wich is at the exact same spot as the real thing) whos 175 cm tall, and thats where thee pilot ends up, period.

2# As far as i know adjusteble seat isnt modelled (at least not visually) wich would explain why he is sitting so low even when on the ground.


There has been a number of pics posted showing hurris on takeoff and in flight and it clearly shows that a pilot taking off is sitting way higher than he is during flight....i wonder why, hmmmm.


Now, move along, nothing more to see here..before Oleg shuts this site down completly.

You forget that the seat was adjustable, and with a seat-parachute would make a huge difference to how tall the pilot looked. I have no reason to doubt that everything is to scale, but for a take-off, this pilot must be pretty stupid to sit this low. Even if he landed he's clearly a bit of an idiot
