What file controls the face on the P-51D pilot?
I liked Oboe's work so thought I would try to at least give the D Mustang pilot some goggles or something.

I am pretty sure the pilot is not listed as being something skinners can change, but I will check Monday.

my 332rd skin has a black pilot.

Before AH3 we allowed the pilot to be modified. I'll have to check with HiTech on this.

Quite a while ago I decided to see what I could do about improving the default P-51D pilot. I thought his headgear looked too much like a 1930's leather football helmet than WWII flying headgear, and I also added more detail to the pilot's face, jacket, and life vest.

After Vraciu took the last P-51D slot, I switched over to working on the '51B and eventually produced a different pilot for each of the 3 '51B skins I was working up. The pilot of Beantown Banshee even bears a good resemblance to the real pilot, Felix Rogers. They are all quite a bit more detailed that the original pilot, and I hoped this would be another way to really set my skins apart.

Can I put your pilot in my P-51Ds?
:x
:cheers:
What files did you modify? Those are really outstanding.
(Don't lose heart on the D situation. Orphans will eventually be retired...and at some point the 3D shape will be revamped.)
