• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

When building the FSX version of the AT6 Texan and Harvard I had to hide the extra body parts of the pilot on the other side of the engine firewall. The pilot was a skinned model and the guy in the back seat was just polygons. It was a lot of work figuring out how to set things up. Thanks to the friendly folks at Free Flight Design forums I got it all sorted out.

It was an awful lot of development work to get everything working. I have recently seen the planes being used in several screenshots lately, but none of them have taken advantage of being able to turn the visibility of guy in back on and off.

I find this poll very interesting. Had I read it before I started work on the Texans, I probably would have left the visibility feature out all together.
