do u think that the medium high of te te population during the 30s and 40s decades is equal to the pressent days? (supposing that the video is from 1980

)

Pd: that pilot is really tall

From "Aces of the Reich" by Mike Spick

"Physically they varied considerably. The cockpit of a bf109 was not very roomy, and so single seater pilots tended to be of moderate height. There was of course exceptions; the towering Hannes Trautloft successfully shoe-horned himself into the messerschmitt fighter, while at the other end of the scale, at just five feet four inches tall, Josef Priller had to keep his seat raised in order to see out."

Im happy with them till a patch comes out, though i do agree the spit pilot does look a bit silly in the screenshots, but it wont effect game play which is the most important thing IMO atm.

Cheers

You guys are looking at it all wrong. The pilots are a perfect size. Its the Airplanes that are just to darn BIG. So the easy fix is to keep the pilot size as is and just scale down the planes,trees ,houses, ships ex cetera,ex cetera, ex cetera.
Hope this helps.

Some of you guys who are still harping on pilot size really need to get checked out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome .

The midget pilot mistake was pointed out several months ago with a screencap of a Hurricane. Many photos and other evidence was presented.

Unfortunately, it appears constructive criticism and suggestions presented in these update WIP threads are pointless, since they are ignored. The explanation is always that these are just WIPs, so all criticism is unwarranted...since all errors will be fixed before final release. But with the release supposedly just weeks away, that is clearly not going to happen. What you see in the current Update and a couple of upcoming weekly Updates is what you are going to get. imho.
