Female pilot figures?

Post by Trev Clark »

The recent AS Cessna with a 'buxom wench' at the controls has made me think about this, and the reactions by me and other possible customers.
Here is a small poll, to take a snapshot of our members. Remember that even MS have female pilots (C172?) in the default aircraft! Developers may (or may not :lol: ) take note, whichever way the poll goes

What matters to me is how well the aircraft and systems are modeled, not the gender of the "pilot" in the cockpit.

A normal female is one thing but modelling them as buxom wenches look a bit out of place as does a male in shorts and teeshirt.

The gender itself is un important, just the presentation of it imo.

CHoice would be the best option then one can enjoy the aeroplane.

Negating the gender matter, thats an awfully good model with excellent mapping and textures, figures are damned hard to get smooth with respectable poly counts and even harder to map with little or no seams.

I hate flight sim figure modeling, which is perverse as I used to enjoy modeling 1/16th ( 120mm ) resin figures ?.

Best

So, who pinched her pina colada glass and packet of crisps? :worried:

Regrettably, yet again the Celtic Fringe Sheep vote has been ignored. There will be questions in Parliament.

A female pilot is not a real show-stopper for me, but I'd always prefer a male pilot figure if given a choice.

Think I would prefer two pilots......one male...one female....not bothered who sits where but just nice to have a woman to keep you warm at altitude!!
