Remove creepy copilot crewman

[Pinguim]

Hi there. is there any way to remove the crewman that sits right next to you? his creepiness is stressing me when i fly the Ju 88. Maybe I could just delete some specific file?

cheers!

[unreasonable]

Try shooting him with your pistol. 

[Blitzen]

I remember seeing screenies a while ago of a mod that put goggles on the crew member ( possibly on a Russian Forum?)- it really helped ....so would an oxygen mask...I wish I knew where that mod was!!!

[Pinguim]

@unreasonable unfortunately no way to do that in the dover series ? @Blitzen if you find out, be sure to share!

[JG-1_Ludwig]

As soon as I read the title.. I knew *exactly* which one was the "creepy guy."   Probably grandfather of the "Burger King"

[Blitzen]

I wish we could get BoX to lend us this guy:

[Thundercracker]

To lean across and block your view every 20 seconds? At least he's easier on the eye ?

A Soviet pilot in the Battle of Britain or in the Desert War? What for?

 

More seriously... be patient chaps. I think TFS is planning to improve the visual aspect of crew members and pilots. Let's wait and see what happens.

Any screenshots, and link to a developer update regarding this? Would love to see a better rendered set of pilot, crew and ground crew models..... after the new clouds.... and VR

[343KKT_Kintaro]

Not for me to do so, Puma, I'm not a member of TFS. I'll wait an see what happens next, that's all what I'll do.

DRAFT HIM...HE DIDN'T HAVE CHICKEN POX AS A KID LIKE OUR GUY...

[Blitzen]

Any further news on this? A couple of days ago I played CloD DW and for fun did a dive bombing mission of Tobruk with a Ju-88. During the attack the creepy gunner / bombardier was very creepy as we entered the final run in ,turning his pock marked face towards me with an incredulous look on his face( to be fair his only look,) as if to ask “Is this trip early necessary???” Please say he can be sent to some other theater ( like the Eastern front ) andI can get a better crew man ? I think these crew members are my biggest gripes in the entire sim!

We are planning on re-doing the crewman's faces... sorry we don't have samples or a deadline... would be TF 6.0 release at latest.

Good news! You know just giving this guy goggles option and/or  perhaps oxygen mask, & shaving his mustache, would help a lot. He really doesn't compare well to GB BoX version very well...

[Blitzen]

A little dab of this might not hurt either:

Last time I checked you could do that within the game. No mods required. At least the goggles and tache at any rate

[OBT-Eazy]

I don't see him.  I'm too busy looking for bandits who want cut my plane in two.  ?

I'm not sure if making these changes in options has any effect on the appearance of this guy.It didn't last time I tried, except ,perhaps in exterior views?

So the catch is that the pilot options affect YOUR character However Clod allows YOU to occupy two positions at once. Thats how I did it. Pilot and Bomb Aimer.  If I occupied the pilot and belly gunner. all bets are off and Zombie Charlie Chaplin returns. As I was a terrible gunner, I never occupied those positions so never had the problem! ?

I like your solution…I’m a bit slow-how did you do it??

Dress Zombie charlie using the "pilot" options in the main menu. There's a pilot for each faction and a veritable smorgassbaord of options. I prefer to cover as much of him as I can.  When you start the mission you will be Peter Pilot and Charile, in all his grotesque horror, will be sitting next to you like the undead. Select position 2 (default Ctrl 2) then Position 1 (Ctrl 1) and Charile will have had his facelift as Clod is now allowing the "pilot" to occupy both positions. 

 

Thinking some more about it. When i flew Clod regularily I had a "return to pilot position" macro set up in myTARGET software for bombers that cycled me back from where ever I was through position 2 (I think this was something to do primarily with the Blenni and releasing the gunner back to AI) but it worked on the lufty stuff with the added bonus Creepy Charlie was never in view. 

 

The catch is that on the 111 and 88 he will continue to sit there instead of jumping on the guns I think.

Boo- I’ll give it a try-thanks!

Unfortunately it doesn't work for the Ju-88C

Yeah - he's just a dead weight sadly. 

[Larry69]

I think this way you can stand it.

 

[LLv34_Flanker]

S! 

 

But every game has a zombie mod so why not Blitz/Tobruk too?! ? The gunner in 110 is like he is picking his nose and having no clue of the world around him. And his obsession in wiggling the gun all over the place.. ? ?

Something is amiss. I have gone to "Pilot Options " & ticked off goggles & goggles for both German pilot A & B and "saved " changes , but in game the Zombie gunner is still the same ;un-masked & un-goggled in inside cockpit view. I really like the solution above but can't seem to get it to work in game...Help!!!

[Mysticpuma]

Would love to see the 3D models completely redone and brought up to 2022 standards. The pilots and crew really could do with a lot of love and a few more animations, much like BoX. 

[Angry_Kitten]

at least he look better then "pierre" the observer/gunner in two seat aircraft of rise of flight

[Avimimus]

I think the solution is to animate the eyes so that they precisely follow the player's camera movements... watching you.

 

A week of that and everyone will be happy to go back to the status-quo.

Absolutely not if the devs animate the eyes of Florence too so that she permanently stares at the player's eyes...

the eyes' player -> the player's eyes

Roflmao, the spitfire girl. This is so priceless, the most legendary gaming related thing what I have experienced first hand.

[Cybermat47]

He still hasn’t let my family go, even though I did what he asked…

[Blitzen]

Still no luck getting goggles and oxygen mask on my zombie passenger using “pilot” options….sigh…?
