wondering if this issue has died :?: ..... it would be really nice to have visible head movement by other pilots in the game....especially nice in team formation work....was never quite clear: is it indeed impossible in IL-2?

Very interesting.. Like in Lockon and Black-Shark The pilot follow where the track IR or mice is looking.

I don't doubt it is possible, the animation is obviously there as we have seen and the game itself knows where you are looking so it should be possible in some way to marry them together (I have no clue how though ).

The theory is sound though

I looked at this one briefly awhile back. I think the complication of this is that the pilots head position is PROBABLY not one of the pieces of information that is passed over the network to the server and on to the other players. I can't say that for sure though.

It's on my list of things to try to spend some more time looking at sometime in the future. In Lock-On it really is a cool effect. Amost eery to see your bud turn his head and look at you.

Would be great though, flying in formation with your buddies and your Lead telling you to stop staring at his 6 and to scan the skies

There where some sessions with the pilot during the last weeks. We called him Boris because he looks like a Boris. He is too big and too fat (f... donuts). So we started to reduce his size.

We also had this idea, that Boris will move his head when you look around. At the moment we do not work on the programming of the pilot but on his body. It is logical that we could program his head later. Step by step

I think youre head already does move if you use padlock. Padlock an enemy plane and the pilots head will track it!
I dont know anything about modding but it does seem feasible, i mean some of it is already there.

I have wondered about this too.. it would have to be tied in with the mouse or the hat no?

From the outside?

Glad I did a search before starting a new topic...........

Oleg said this could not be done....Close this book and never open it again.

(that should be enough to get someone to look deeper :twisted: )

I got an idea from this thread. Not quite moving head but close...

no bloody way, who is working on that will be awesome to have moving pilot arms and openable canopy!!!

Now that's awesome! In combo with moving head and it'd be down right scary hock:

[Trooper117]

that is spookily realistic.. Can you imagine the effect when you are trying to get a firing solution on an aircraft in a tight climbing L/H circle, and just like the countless accounts from WWII, you can see the pilot in front, looking back and desperately working his controls to out turn you?
