Hi all,
I've been fooling around with Andrew Wai's P-51D and have it where I want it except for the pilot. He looks like the WW2 version of the "autopilot" from the movie Airplane. What would be your suggestions for a replacement? Thanks in advance for your help and/or suggestions.
Bob

Hi Bub,

I've always liked the add-on pilots such as the ones used in Mario Giacomazzi's Hurricanes, even though they take up spots in the aircraft folder. They are used like a weapon and need to be added in the dp file in each payload.View attachment Add On Pilots.zip

US_Pilot
Bri_Pilot
Ja_Pilot
ITA_Pilot
Ger_Pilot

Kind regards,

TW
 
If you have the pilot texture...

I am not familiar with this model... but it looks as though there is a textured head and shoulders...
With some artistry... which I modestly I am endowed with... it can be "redone" to look right...
I have changed that ubiquitous "Asiatic" pilot in many CFS 2 models to look like different nationalities and
ethnicities... (check my postings in my on-going thread in FS 2004)....
If there is a texture.. it can be redone just like any aircraft repaint...
I can do it for you if you wish...

Sirs,
Thank you for your suggestions and offer of help. It is greatly appreciated. I've chosen to use Morton's animated pilot. It appears to fit the bill nicely. A little more "tinkering" and it will be finished. Again, Thank you.
Bob

Gaucho,
If you want to make Morton's pilot into a Tuskegee Airman, that would be great. The only problem I see would be, if you are using his pilot with his new US Navy Bearcat, the bgl and texture names would have to changed respectively.
Thanks,
Bob

ps. And, making sure its OK with him.

Bob,

I think I'm fine with it. :friendly_wink:

Carlos,

If you would like to make a skin for the one Morton and I made, please do. I can make a second version for the Tuskegee Pilots. I'll include any that you make. Also the Faces that you made before.

I'm working on a new SID model. Morton wants to do the same as we did with the MW_RAF pilots. Skins will be needed for those as well. I'm also planing on some gunner and other versions for different AC's. We need a few different sitting positions.
 
No problem...

Hey guys,

Bub - As always, I love your attention to detail. :very_drunk:
 
Thanks Rami,
I try and give it a good shot. Great pictures from Oshkosh. I'm sure when Blood Hawk and Gaucho finish up the new pilots, they'll be a welcome addition.

BTW: If anyone wants the "Bunnie" texture, I'll upload it.

Thanks again,
Bob

Definitely negative man, in contrast to the general "good looks" of your renditions of other ethnicities. A.C. Wai's default is better looking by far.
 
mmm....

I'll have you know that the face is only a basically "cut and paste" with some retouching in terms of color balance, temperature, etc, OF A SCULPTURED
BUST OF AN ACTUAL TUSKEEGEE pilot... done by a "real" artist... NOT ME!!!
The facial features are not AT ALL of my choosing... thick lips, etc. are racial features that are extant... a lot of so called African extraction Americans
are much more finely featured... mainly from some "cracker in the woodpile" influence... I did not invent thick lips ... or wide noses..
Sincerely, I find it disturbing that people who for so long said "black is beautiful" can be upset by reality... I think that black is beautiful... IN ITS OWN WAY..
white canons of beauty are equally disturbing to me... in my book... no such thing as blonde is beautiful... brown is not... blue eyes are beautiful...
"nice" hair... etc. etc. I find it equally disturbing that a lot of black women wear "relaxed hair" wigs or "extensions"... kinky hair is what it is.. NOTHING
WRONG with it!!! My hair is wavy... does that make me less "beautiful"? I think NOT...
I say... if one wants a "white looking" black... one is wrong... black is black .. and beautiful in its own way!!!!

I was born and raised in South America... where we really are not that concerned with anyone's racial background... or trying to be what we are not...

Here's another version for the Tuskeegee pilot

The faces are all taken from old T-airman pics...

Gaucho,
Here's a pic of "the" Tuskegee Airman from The Reading Pa. WW2 Weekend two years ago. Not only does this gentleman fly for an airline, he's an ex-Air Force pilot and flys the P-51. Put goggles on and an oxygen mask, and take it from there. BTW: based on your explanation, I can see why you went in that direction.
Bob
