If any of you have some really nice fighter pilot (modern pics) of say a guy wearing a helmet and most of his upper half in the flight suit, could you email them to me? Also along the lines of what SV is doing, a really nice pic of a modern day joystick, preferably from an F-14 but modern will do I suppose.

Here's what I'm planing. Oh btw I'm redoing the F-14's cockpit due to severe fps issues. With a very low poly cockpit though I'll be able to get away with this extra neat stuff.

Both pilots and RIO's heads will track targets. Crew helmets will have working visors that actually tint your view (that's the plan anyhow), working joystick for the pilot, and whatever else I can think of to throw in.

Does anyone know of a way to eject the canopy of a plane before the pilot bails out? Maybe a way to simulate explosive bolts, just enough to where the canopy breaks free but doesn't get damaged so much that it explodes when it's triggered.

Thanks for helping out.

I think you might have to make the canopy a child of the pilot or something. Then have an onDetach on the pilot call a function on the canopy that detaches it as well.

I fooled for hours once trying to eliminate the parachutes from the WWI plane's pilots.. no luck

now that would sure be a find. I have been looking for the SAME thing for my Nam soldier, but I just can't find a good pic.
