    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    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.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

What happened to the white helmeted modern military pilot avatars in MSFS 2020?

I just don't fly jets and modern aircraft except for screenshots, but I do like a proper pilot. I know some give you the option of choosing the pilot once loaded. But as I recall, MSFS 2020 came with a couple of modern military pilot avatars to choose from the MISC menu. They are no longer there. How does one get them? Where did they go? Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't remember seeing military pilots in the selection group. I bunch of airline pilots and civilians, but no jet jockies.
 
I have the stock US modern pilots still showing fine, though I’ve been flying the RAF Hawk lots of late, so I’m using the RAF pilot figure addon for more accuracy which overrides it once placed into the Community folder

It presents as the default for most planes though the selecting the DC legacy F/A-18C gives you its bespoke pilot wearing the 80s era HGU-33/P style helmet.
 
As long as you haven't downloaded any other helmet mods (like the RAF green MOD) the military pilot avatar in OPTIONS/MISC is there [Lt Simon Hernandez] there's a female version too. I think its Pilot Number 25. If you search under "Helmets" in Flightsim.to you will see an improved default US Navy HGU-68 helmet and also some helmet and flightsuit Mods for the IFE F-14 crews. There is also a Finnish military pilot which gives you an approximation of the USAF grey HGU-55 helmet.
