    Mod to Upgrade/Remove bomber crew/copilot?

    Hi there, I'm enjoying this game a lot.

    However, the bomber crewmate's model that stands beside the pilot in the ju88 stresses me out

    Do you know how to remove that model, or upgrade it with goggles and mask?

    Cheers!

    Simplest is to jump to the copilot seat then back to the pilot seat. The copilot seat will be freed for you, and the dreadful moustache will be busy in the front gunner position.

    Otherwise I know some people managed to modify the faces. There must be an image file somewhere that can me manipulated, however it is not easy because the image is a flat projection of the pilot’s face, and it is difficult to make bits match...

    Question Re: Mod to Upgrade/Remove bomber crew/copilot?

    Thanks for the reply Noofy.
    I heard someone was working on such modifications (only hint I had was 'russian forum'), but so far it has eluded me (if it exists). Couldn't find it.
    Unfortunately to see him manning the front guns is not good. Either way it kills the immersion right away. I was hoping it would be as easy as deleting some files, maybe after extracting. The plane and the map are marvelous though, it's what keeps me from going to other versions of il-2.

    I guess I will fly like this in the meantime

    Yeah I know. The link I provided is to mod the pilot's face, not copilot face.
    Not sure if this is doable...

    We are looking at re-modeling the faces on the human models for TF 6.0.

    If I select the copilot/bombardier and then jump back using alt+1 (direct jump, no cycling), I can force it to use my personal pilot model. I'm not sure that's what you meant, but it works for me! Much better than just looking at moustache man looking back at me at 7km alt

    edit: unfortunately this doesn't work with the C-4 version, since it can't have a front gunner nor a bombardier.

    By the way, I think that players uniforrm cutomizations (not body and face) should be applied to AI crew immidiatelly after spawn. And it still should change when player (or another player in multiplayer) take place in the aircraft.

    There is a problem though, everybody would end up being a decorated officer if you used the officer skin. Still not an optimal solution, but could work as a temporary one.

    Is that the first thing we know about 6.0 ?
