Developer Diary, Part XXVI

Foobar is right, actually, for so well designed models makes no sense...

Even in the old IL-2 I could never fit the face of Hermann Graf properly in that blocky generic model.

 

Skinning the pilots-crew in RoF was kind of limited.

At some point I created a bunch of historically correct (as possible) skins for the given models,

but a couple of updates ago they were thrown off.

Now a couple of generic textures are distributed to every pilot-crew in RoF... :(

Both ways it is still possible to skin your own pilot in RoF, (as a Mod)

as well as your own clones will man every plane of your side's Air Force... ;)

Skinning the pilot's face without beeing able to alter its shape is rather senseless.

 

Yes and no... I managed to get a pretty decent pilot skin in DCS.. Granted I had to really do some manipulating to get it done.. but I did it and it looked pretty good. About 3 updates ago that was removed... Problematic yes and certainly not a priority by any means .. but it would be a nice feature down the road.. IL2 was the only sim I ever saw that allowed that and it was a great touch..

I take it this is the elephant.. whoose pilot template I still use..  :salute:

 

I know it is not a priority at the moment nor shoud it be.. but IMO this is the kind of thing that should be structured so that if a user were to decide that they wanted to undertake a project to make this doable they could.. I know in some sports sims you can build a custom player.. I am talking about something on the order of the wii only more sophisticated where you could use say 6 basic shapes with interchangeable eyes, noses and mouth types.. and then skin that and save it.. I am basically talking just access to the pilot file. Users can work out how they alter it.. It is just a thought and a wish so.. please .. no one jump down my throat.. (not that anyone has... I''m just sayin.... ;) )

Ordered the Premium Edition this afternoon. I enjoy ROF but IL-2 Sturmovik was one of my favorite flight sims. When I heard that 777 Studio was involved in the development I was "hooked". Trailer looks great.
