Pilot Helmet
-
I wonder if this could be implemented at one stage? Pretty cool though!
-
Agreed that it does look cool.
However, it obscures a lot of the ‘pit.
Kinda’ like… a poorly designed UI taking up too much screen in an RPG.I would rather have my space filled with switches and dials (and SA) than that.
Again, though - I do understand why some people would like it.
Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: I must admit, I was blown away by the crew on the deck. Ah… the ever elusive ground crew.

Cool idea, however mask should be almost invisible. I did quick test and put hospital face mask on. Even when mask was about 1cm (~0.5") away from my face I could barely see the slight shadow on the bottom of my fov. For some estimate what pilots fov looks like, you can use said face mask and open motorcycle helmet. IMHO parts of the helmet on the sides ant the top are far more visible than mask.
I guess the best way to implement it, would be to mod pilot body, to include a helmet and mask and position it around 3D world camera. It could make sense for VR users. -
That IS actually pretty cool, for what it is!..

I don’t think the mask is visible either. Maybe just a shadow when you look down, as when using a diving mask.
As Xeno said, I think sides and specially top might be more noticeable. In VTOL VR you have a top shadow when you have the helmet on. There’s an option to toggle it on/off.
But I guess the pilot’s helmet is designed with maximum visibility in mind.

hmmmm I believe a carton cut out at this look alike and painted on those colors and stick it on the monitor would be the best solution…
Also u can cut it out to be realistic to measurements according to your screen size and resolution…

Having worn quite a lot of time a flight helmet in real life flying fighter aircraft, it does not look like that at all ! Just from a realism perspective !
-
I honestly think that it looks terrible. The black portion of the mask, as shown in the photos, is where the nose goes. So unless for some reason the mask is pulled from the face and raised a few centimetres, it looks nothing like what is expected to be seen in the cockpit. I also think it looks too much like an arcade and not like a flight sim.
But of course YMMV on the subject.

Looking at that mask … I swear I felt Darth Wader’s breath down on my neck ,…
Hey WIZZO , ara!! … CUT IT OUT

I thought the being able to pull down the visor in BMS is already pretty good.
