And I'm getting angry because instead of polite constructive observations or criticism, people like this have to denigrate others with juvenile expressions of anger! (wright?)!

There is obviously reasons as to why the pilots view isn't as high in the game, Jesus you'd seriously wanna be sitting like that ? Even if its a simulator its yet a game , some things you're just gonna have to live with. How about IL2? Worked just fine as it is.. I don't see any benefit with sitting like that but ok... better view of ground and less view of the crosshair huh.?

Are you seriously telling me that you think that YOUR view of the gunsight (and MINE) are going to change because of the positon of the virtual pilot figure in the cockpit?

What on earth does one have to do with the other?

The view that you see when looking out of the cockpit is determined by the sim configuration parameters as far as I know, not by what the virtual pilot's head position is.

And if I'm wrong, then someone please correct me! (politely!)

Absolutely correct. The view inside the cockpit and the 3d representation of the pilot outside the cockpit are two entirely different things.

Just found this vid on youtube, real time smoke calculation done by the GPU:

If such a thing could be introduced in SOW (as an option), but optimised and with a reduced quality so as not to kill the framerate, it would be really cool (however, I don't think it's capable of creating vortices, as there's probably no 'air')

Regarding this Hurricane pilot and all of these pictures. There's tall men and short men 5'5" 6'5" etc. Ones with really long backs who are very tall..me. I can see a good foot difference in some peoples heights.

And so useful if Galland's cigar is implemented...

HEY! Is it just me or is that Hurri pilots head a bit small?

[Romanator21]

Here's my contribution:

I hope you notice that he's wearing an OVER-SIZED CRASH-HELMET. I'ts not a SKULL CAP!!!!! @#$^@#B.

Are you all that thick!?!?!?!


Those helmets really are that big!!!!! Look it even makes a normal man's head 2x as BIG!!!!!!!





Earth to Dipsh*t:





1) You can't do a top to bottom measurement because the viewing angle is different, changing how high he appears to sit in the cockpit, and thus relationship to canopy frames. You can only make horizontal measurements, or compare to the outside of the plane. You're also using the guy's headset as the top of his head. IT IS NOT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD. I have a set of David Clark Headsets, and they add 2 inches to the top of my head!

2) Canopy in the screenshot is open all the way, while in the first, is open only part way. USE YOUR EYES.

I've had it with this, I'm done!

Goodbye!

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).
