PhrogPhlyer Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Pic 2 must be a line check, both are wearing Captain stripes. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate.

To approximate the portions of the instrument panel covered by the pilots in the vintage shot. Let's try not to take this stuff too seriously!

In a Connie, this would actually be approximately the right view angle from the Flight Engineer seat. Again, keep in mind that the idea behind this shot was to compare a real Connie photo to an FS version of the same scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Both shots are fairly similar. But of course one taken with what appears to be Kodacolor is real. Having said that, the FS version looks better than a lot of sim renditions I've seen. I also hope and assume the RW pilots in the first view waited till they got their night vision back after that flashbulb flash before they even had the chocks pulled!!!! Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming MSFS, what is being done to correct this? How long to wait, this time? This has become a plethor of small, uncorrected issues. When do the developers plan to correct these myriad mistakes?

I guess I'm not seeing what you're seeing...in that photo, the seats fit properly in the cockpit, and the pilots fit in the seats. Their heads appear to be at the same level as the windows. So how are they out of scale? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any issues should be directed to whomever developed the Connie in question. And again, this topic is about comparing the photos, not getting into another debate about what's wrong with the sim, or which sim is better etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post was just meant to show how it would look using FS2020 to try and recreate an old photo. That's all there is to it!! No drama.

jgf Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Hopefully my facetious comment was not misconstrued, the image is indeed impressive, though my first thought was of a download many years ago which first induced me to create a panel - a light twin in which I was sitting there with a control yoke on the left, a control yoke on the right, and the center frame of the windscreen directly in front of me. "Engineer's view" is an apt description, too few aircraft utilize this; I've had a couple of bombers that allowed you to occupy the radio/navigator seat or engineer seat, though neither allowed you to peek in to the cockpit.

Their heads appear to be at the same level as the windows. So how are they out of scale? Verticality, unless both pilot and co-pilot are GIANTS and the real-world ones were dwarves. Look at the eyeline of each. And look at the shoulder width of the mimics? They don't look even vaguely real, unless modern pilots are all 6` 6", and I KNOW they aren't - I'm 5` 8 and still taller than many of my mates in the flying club, although many of the veterans have shrunk because of all the `g` they've pulled!

JSkorna Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 A simulation is a representation of something, not the real thing. A simulation is something that represents something else — it isn't the real thing. At times you might perform a simulation as practice for real life, such as a flight simulation that’s used to train pilots. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
