Pilot Skin Color and Gender


Boneski

Recommended Posts

It would be nice to have some options in this area...

 

 

I understand that voices would be hard to do for radio comms and localization...

 

 

But it would be a nice to have where we could change the skin color of the pilot that better models diversity or at the very least a pilot model that that is full covered with gloves and maybe even a turtle neck shirt with mask and visor down with no skin showing at all.

 

 

Just and Idea.

My mission is to fly, fight, and win. o-:|:-o What I do is sometimes get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.

Do you guys fly your aircraft from the cockpit or from the external view? :huh:

I dont fly sim aircraft in DCS to be reminded of the petty and absurd, I fly it because its my special escape from the droll and everyday crap that regularly comes up in this over serviced, over accomodating, politically correct world that thrives on victimhood and idiotic motherhood statements.

 

If you can mod and do this fair enough go for it. But otherwise Im for keeping the cheap politics and PC crap out of our sim.

 

Im sure there are plenty of other electronic diversions that can accomodate this line of thought, no matter how gender challenged or racially confused our pixel pilots are.

 

Thanks

Regards

Exactly! We've got lots of technical problems in DCS that need to be solved, before we think of the pilots being represented in political, racial and gender correctness.

You're response is completely overblown and ridiculously over the top compared to his actual request. There are pilots of every skin color on earth... so, his request would be a move towards greater realism in DCS. You would welcome different skins on aircraft but not on the men and women that fly them? There was nothing "petty and absurd" about his post/request.... but you're post appears to be.

It would be nice to have, but I think it is something that should come after things like bug fixes and module development. So, +1 for the idea, but keep the priority for it lower than bugs and modules.

Why does every wishlist topic have to be cluttered with discussion about priority? You have no say in that anyway, that's up to developers.

 

 

We can choose a name, patch, squadron (in logbook) and aircraft skin (by the way... you can't see that from cockpit either). P-51 already has different races for pilots. So why not. People like to roleplay.

 

If you think that selecting gender and race is some kind of correctness, you might be projecting your own issues. ;) I mean... do you think the same when you start any other game and get greeted by a character customization screen? :doh:

Yes, it's something that can be done, when DCS is bug-free and when all the aircraft we asked for are included in DCS.;)

Well, those games are concentrating on characters, not aircraft. :)

You can barely see your pilot because they're covered in a flight suit anyway. You fly from the first person, and you're limited in zoom from the outside.

 

 

 

For reference, this is our Mig-21 pilot.

This is the most of your Mig-21 pilot that you can see in your aircraft

And this is a woman wearing the famous VKK-6M Pressure suit. Included because this is one of the few flight suits where you can even see the pilot's face.

Do you see why people think this is a waste of time?

 

I know this is a wishlist thread, but there's nothing stopping you from modding the current pilots to look any way you want. You can even change around the voice files. It wouldn't even be that hard to do considering most of your pilot is concealed by the flight suit anyway.

Christ....get off my lawn!!!! :lol:

 

I agree with the OP.

 

We already have black guys flying the Red-Tail Mustangs so why not let DCS players choose their pilot's ethnicity or gender?

Just use your talent and edit your own skin-face that fits your prefferences.

 

There are plenty of paint software choices to do so.

It's not about his request - I find it ok. But he even mentioned that diversity thing more in a political way, then in a normal request. So I understand Struts response fully ;)

1000 flights, 1000 crashes - perfect record

I would like to have the pilot models included as ME-usable assets in the infantry tab to set up things like CSAR missions. Since that would give the pilots a little more visibility I would actually welcome the possibility to have multiple possible appearances to choose from.
