how do I change the 3D pilot figure?

I just realized I have a lady that I don't know flying my Bonanza.  Can someone point me in the direction of change? Thanks

Find the following folder in your "Official" content tree: 
...\Official\Steam\asobo-simobjects-characters\SimObjects\Humans\Pilot

The folders in there that start with ".model" will tell you which (co)pilot types you can use, e.g. "Pilot_Female_Uniform_Asian".

You put those strings into either the pilot or copilot line of your plane's aircraft.cfg file.
(Or, if you want nobody at all on that seat, just put an empty string there.)

Yeah there is an in-game option that lets you select either "default for aircraft" or one specific pilot that always loads.

I think Kronsky's configuration settings let you change the default for each individual aircraft but if you are happy enough with the same pilot in every plane you can just  do that in game.

I assume the "default for aircraft" option is to avoid getting pilots in an airline captain uniform in a bush plane or casual gear in an airliner.

In sim under Options/General/Misc there are settings for your pilot, copilot and instructor models.

Maybe someone will make a short tutorial and show us how to change these pilot figures.  I went looking deep into the file structure and I do see a lot of HUMAN related folders and files but have no clue at how to use or misuse them to change the left and right seat figures.

At first I thought this was a joke thread! 🙀

In the sim, go to OPTIONS

Then go to GENERAL

Then go to MISC

There you will see options for PILOT AVATAR / CO-PILOT AVATAR / INSTRUCTOR

"CASUAL"?🙄

 

I'm no artist but I'm going to take a look at modifying these models.  Hopefully we can add models via the same mechanisms rather than just replace.  That name has got to go.  What, were they worried ANGLO or CAUCASIAN or even WHITE or GUERO was going to hurt someone's feelings?  SMH

 

People are too touchy....I suppose that would include those who get irritated at the resulting behaviors of this overly-sensitive culture we've been growing LOL.  DOH!!!

Haha. What a world we live in. 

Would be cool with more selection of pilots though.

Anyone know if this setting works?

LOL, It seems that some Avsimmers here actually really need a real lady, not a virtual one.!

Maybe someone will do an addon pack.

Hopefully with some sense of appropriateness though. Some relevant military uniforms, business suits etc would be good - rather than the normal candidates like SS Totenkopf Tank Commanders, sailor suited schoolgirls and zombies from the Walking Dead or Zombie Apocalypse.
