Remove pilot model but keep kneeboards?
-
Wondering if you could do it simply, such as rename some texture files or something. I want the kneeboards, not so much the pilot?

This probably isn’t the solution you are asking for, but it’s still an idea. Use WDP to print the kneeboards.

It would be great if one of the next updates (U5) provided the option “legs only” for the pilot body. The model itself should be available from one of the Aegean / IKAROS theaters (hopefully to be used by other theaters legally), then it would be great if we could extend the options already present by the “legs only” one and cycle through them using A-c p.
All the best, Uwe

In RL you would “move aside” to make room when using the switches and knobs, which is not possible in a computer sim. Legs only would be nice and optional.

We don’t expect a U5 but .35
With head tracking never had any issue to access all buttons with pilot model onGesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

I thought there used to be an old mod (4.32 days) that put kneeboard pages on the seat so you could access the info without the pilot model. It was just as I started seriously getting into combat sims nearly 10 years ago, so memory is a little fuzzy.

yes, there used to be that mod -

I was wondering if it would be possible to swap out the pilot model that gets toggled by Alt-c p with the “legs only” one for all aircraft? I’d imagine this would be an “easy fix”, but then again we’re talking BMS here
I use the head tracking z axis for FOV zoom so it’s not possible to “move forward” in the cockpit to acquire all the knobs visually that are hidden by the pilot body in the default seating position. I know I’d be using the kneeboards a lot more if I could get my “legs only” model back somehow…
No “U5”, you say? Dear Sir, I’m intrigued by this statement and would like to subscribe to your newsletter
All the best,

I have seen everything requested except those last two, I suspect you made those up, JP, big no-no
Seriously though is there a way to swap the pilot model by (to rephrase that carefully) a model of the user’s choice?
All the best,
Uwe

Actually when strapped in the tiny Viper cockpit there is no such thing like “move aside”, specially with canopy down…
There are cockpit parts and panel where the pilot can only reach by touch and feel by memory, no direct view with that parts/switches themselves.
Also, body fit is another huge factor here, if the crew is thin then the situation is slightly better, if above the “critical mass” then…

Yeah, it’s not apparent on a monitor, but one thing I realized after jumping into a the Viper in VR (in DCS) was just why fighter pilots sometimes talk about strapping on their jets. You basically sit in a tiny compartment under a large plexiglas bowl, it really does feel like wearing it at times.

Several other options:
- Print the kneeboard.
- Use a tablet or smartphone for kneeboard in PDF.
- Use LodEditor to delete leg& body parts.
There is a keep to display/hide the pilot model. We won’t do more.

Could you elaborate on this option please? It was scary enough replacing the pilot model in LODeditor using the excellent “Aegean” instructions, so it’d be great if somebody “in the know” could provide a step by step guide on how to achieve this.
I think the easiest option for me personally (YMMV) would be to replace the “full body” pilot model with the “legs only” model in one fell sweep / swoop throughout all of BMS 4.34 and (I’m dreaming) all theaters.
Thanks in advance for hopefully not losing your patience

I am unable to get Pilot Model to show pressing alt C then P with or without Pilot Model selected in general settings. Flying Balkans Theatre - am I doing something wrong? Thanks

same here, alt+c+p doesn’t do anything in any theater.

It’s not alt+c+p it’s alt+c (release both keys) then press p

we figured that out on discord. One issue not showing the pilot model could be a corupt kneeboard dds file. Happend to me when generating kneeboard through WDP and WDP throwing an error resulting in one of the dds files to be 0 or 1kb. Fix was to deletet the corupt dds and regenerate with WDP once done showing pilot model worked again
