    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

Hunter pilots

Hi All


I was at RAF Fairford this week and saw this gorgeous Hunter arriving.

Not having seen one for a while it was amazing to see how tight the fit is for the pilot & seat under the canopy.

Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the scale of the pilot in Dave's glorious single seater?

I don't think you can modify the scale of the pilot...
I mean, the pilot you see in the cockpit can be either part of the 3D model itself, or one of the MSFS default pilots, right ?
In the first case, I think only the creator of the plane can make the modification.
 
I tried to sit in the one at Bournemouth Air Museum last year (yes it's allowed) and at 6'1" I was looking over the top of the canopy.

I think the scale of the pilot figure is set within the aircraft model .gltf file, I haven't seen a .cfg or .xml file with any pilot/co-pilot scale or even position parameters.
 
Is it maybe possible to change the parametres inside ModelConverterX? Newest version should be able to do so, because I made a lot of size adjustments in P3D with this great programme.
As long as the pilot is not part of some other model parts, but in many cases the pilot is a separate section.
 
I'll have a look at rescaling the pilots for the next patch. I want to add some of the improvements from the T models to the singles anyway. No ETA as yet.
I don't recommend hacking the gltf files, or otherwise editing via mcx, but if you do, you're on your own.
You may have a problem with the canopy intersecting the helmet when it slides back.
 
Thanks Dave - the guy in my picture seemed very happy with life even if it was a bit of a squeeze to get in the jet!
