September 26, 20223 yr No I'm not talking about you 😀 ASOBO gave us a choice of a few different pilots and instructors but most (probably all) of them are ugly mutts. Has anyone found or created a mod to replace them with more pleasant looking human beings? A pretty young blonde passenger would be a nice addition (or a gorgeous hunk if you are a female simmer - just in case anyone thinks I'm sexist).

A pretty young blonde passenger would be a nice addition (or a gorgeous hunk if you are a female simmer - just in case anyone thinks I'm sexist). Almost as soon as the sim was launched someone had a YouTube tutorial on how you can replace the pilots faces with your own using a decent selfie and manipulating it in a graphics program, but I can't find the video or tutorial now. My Peter Griffin version would have been a killer! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

September 26, 20223 yr It would be nice if Asobo made it possible for completely new avatars to be loaded into the sim. I'd like to fly as a civilian light aircraft pilot, but at my age, I don't do baseball caps. Pilots of both gender, in appropriate garb for all eras, could be created and uploaded to Flightsim.to, and would be more suitable for some of the local legend aircraft. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
September 27, 20223 yr Actually baseball caps are practical in light aircraft, not just a style thing, particularly as you get older and more sensitive to glare. In a light aircraft, particular with a glass canopy, you often need something more than Aviators to shade your eyes from the glare but headsets severely limit what style of hat you can wear. Baseball caps with a peak but a low profile are ideal.

Yep, that's exactly the sort of thing that could be done. I wonder if this 3rd-party avatar thing is worth suggesting on the official forum ?

September 27, 20223 yr This is what real pilot's all look like ... Unless you fly a Saab Gripen of course ... Disclaimer - neither of the people above are really military fast jet pilots.

September 27, 20223 yr The blonde co-pilot looks terrible. Her hair is yellow and looks more like straw in my opinion. And the blonde pilot looks like his hair was styled by Boris Johnson. Edited September 27, 20223 yr by cbcdesign

Watched a live stream from Manchester, UK at the weekend and was somewhat surprised to the see the captain of a Saudia Dreamliner taxi to stand wearing one. So not just the domain of GAs.
September 27, 20223 yr I know it should be just a gimmic but yeah, better looking (and moving) pilots and passengers are nice. Especially for smaller aircraft where you can actually see your passengers it is nice to have those empty seats filled with cute or obnoxious passengers that behave like real passengers. I still remember the passenger in the A2A piper cub in FSX, who (as I remember) seem to respond to how you were flying.
