Are the pilots too small in the 109? The shot of the 109s banking towards the camera seem to show a tiny pilot. The 109 had a very small cockpit and I think the scale of the pilots might be a little off.

Here is a video of an RAF pilot testing a 109 cockpit.

And what did that old Hurri do to deserve that?????

Very nice series gents, many thanks (even if the underside Hurricane rivets look to heavy to me)

Looking great Oleg & Team,

Keep up the great work! Glad to see one of the only dedicated flight sim developers on the PC putting out a beautiful product.

Looking at period pictures the pilot figure is too small. The 109E cockpit was not as spacious as the new screenshots suggest.

i thought parachute shot was the best one, didnt occur to check angle of strings etc, it just looked right, or alternativey, just plain amazing, better than i could have hoped for

Yes pilot is too small in my opinion as well, the screenshot where you see the cockpit from above lets you see it the best, I don't think there was so much space between shoulder and sidewindow either. Also the head seems to be perfectly aligned to the gunsight in 'cruise mode', that would not be correct but I can't say for sure.

Yes, its not just the 109 pilot model its ALL the character models in the game, they are all too small, they need to be scaled up slightly... You can even see in the He111 pics the crew is too small...

Unfortunately they have been this size for a while now(alpha build?) and i fear its too late to change it now... I just hope its fixed in a patch
