If I recall correctly, the external head movement capability for the player aircraft pilot began with the 4.11 patch.  Has anyone ever created a mod to allow this head movement in earlier versions of the game, especially 4.09?

Since the beginning of the creation of the World I see the pilot moving head (external view).
When the pilot watches his enemy and when flying group the team members turn their heads toward the leader.

In 4.09?
That's interesting.

I don't see that, neither in Stock 4.09 nor in UP2 nor in Modact 2.

Lately I've implemented that feature in a Patch Pack for Ultrapack 3, but rkalhorn109 is right, that feature was implemented with 4.11 only.
If you have it on 4.09 Gabriel, then you apparently have a mod which has not been made public yet.

... yep, Mike ...!

I have never flown anything past 4.09m (except while beta testing AOC or IES) and my pilots turn their head, and even raise it and look at the sky upwards when for ex they have just landed and enemy AC are roaming around ...

I mainly fly Bf109s and FW190s (Claymore's pack), so I'll give it a try with Spits and Stangs or Jugs and report back ...

A-20/DB-7 (AI pilot in formation - he turns his head to his leader!

I wonder if we talk about the same thing!
But one thing is certain:
- Living pilots are composed of three parts: the body, the head and the mask

In this case ... they move the head!
And I use 409/UP2.01 and it was valid in the C6 pack ...
And on some Mods they move the right arm! 


In these simple cases there is nothing to add to the code.
However if you talk about the following:
- Cockpit position you move the view and you switch to external view to see your pilot's head in another position ... it does not work by default!

... ah, Epervier was faster than me ...! 

Isn't there also a mod (by Ranwers ?) that shows pilots with blinking eyes ...?

Work fine in 409 also !

+1 !

Yep, maybe we're not

Offline movement of AI pilot heads might be visible, I'll have to check that on my UP2.
What's not visible is this:

• Move your own player pilot head to either direction and look at your plane from outside.
  The pilot looks straight.
• Look at other planes online, AI or human player doesn't matter.
  All pilots look straight.
• Record and playback a sortie.
  All pilots look straight.

Exact, I have tested that few minutes ago !

I'm glad I brought this up, then.  Wonderful, Mike!    I look forward to adding this to a UP-modded 4.10 install.  Maybe someday the player pilot head-turning mod will be available for 4.09.

... ah, OK, now I get it, and of course I don't have this, offline, in my 4.09m install ... 

... but hell, I don't give a shit ...!
