that was cool...

I never understood why I could look down in my cockpit and see nothing, like I'm the invisible man.

Even TAW has someone working the pedals.

And there will be an invisable man in SoW as well. Ilya stated that it is too much work to get it into the initial release. frown

We really don't need to see working rudder pedals, sticks, throttles, although it is cool as hell. When in a fight, all that stuff goes by the wayside.

The reason for the invisible man really goes back to pre-6DOF days, where the pilot's arms would hide gauges and dials, or obscure where the various settings of things were.

I'm all for options for whether to show the pilot, like in Black Shark.

Personally, I like the invisible man effect.

Video was cool, but why waste time on that instead of seeing the pilot. Kills immersion. Not seeing my arms and legs is only real problem with IL2.. Hate that.

I personally hate seeing 'my' arms and legs in the cockpit, but I wouldn't mind a toggleable option for those who really want that feature.

Think of your own arms and legs as the pilot-you are flying it after all-pure FPS. The monitor should be your cockpit canopy and control panel etc. I would hate to see someone elses body. I am flying the plane not another person.

Definitely agree with this.

Cool but I'd rather see more "flying" and action videos.

Video was kind of underwhelming actually.

I've always disliked the virtual avatar in the cockpit. I'm sitting in my chair, I don't need to see a polygonal version of me with my arms, legs, and hands in the way.

Then you have no soul and no imagination I would have said but of course that can't be true so- we have a paradox Smile2

We're only seeing decent character animation lately in games. Oleg may even be using motion capture, if not that's a very skilful animation and it looks so real. In my imagination. Later that year Oleg would fill in the blanks. Eight million stories in <dan-dan-DAN> The Naked City
