Add this to your /hud folder to add a pilot to your cockpit

Lovely indeed!!!!!
I agree on the fellow pilot above, i would like to have a more sci fi helmet, this one reminds me a lot of airplane helmet (if it isn't).

LOL....Looks like a pilot stuck on the outside clinging on the nose of the ship for his life with his arms spread trying to hold on to anything they can grab!.....I hope it is not Brave with his oxygen tank!......

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

Yes, I agree the pilot's reflection needs to be more subtle/opaque/transparant!......

Glad you like it. I'll think about making a pack with a variety of pilots if I can find the time.

Maybe one with the reflection of a wide-eyed n00b ... amazed at how many missiles can be fired his way at one time.

Could also be the Navigator shoved out of the airlock for not obeying jump orders directly into planetary city dock!....

:P:P:P:P:P

It's a nice idea, but when you think about it, the angle of the glass does not match the reflection angle. I'm guessing the glass would be around 30 degrees from horizontal. If you project from the eyes onto the glass (tracing the photons backward) then the angle would be pointing down toward the dashboard.

So, maybe a reflection of the edge of the dashboard, and maybe some legs and a gloved hand feverishly gripping a joystick would be more realistic. However, if you play with kids in the room, you might not want to show that

Go for it AnFiach - I'd like a few different one to try out!

BSG Viper pilot
Darth Vadar for the Imp Fighter Mod
any other headgear people suggest or you can imagine!

Awesome!

I do like it, but it reminds me a lot of the evil sentry guarding the Earth

I think it would work better a bit more opaque as well. Thanks!

Nice idea, would be good if players could put their own face there from a photo
