I would like to see the ability be added for the skinners to be able to skin the pilot as well. For example, in the P-38, the pilot is skinned in a RAF tropic/desert flight uniform. Would be nice if the skinners could skin the pilot so he's wearing the correct flight suit uniform.

I believe its already possible.
Greebo's excellent A6M5 pilot:

The 's pilot texture files for many of the older AH2 aircraft are included in their list of files that can be submitted by a skinner. The new P-38 skins may still have these old P-38 shape pilot files listed on the submissions site but this is just an oversight by HT, they are obsolete for the new P-38 shape.
The new P-38s use HTC's animated pilot which they developed to work with VR systems. There are a few other aircraft using these including the Lancaster but it seems there is only 3D model and texture for the VR pilot and that is the desert RAF one made for the Hurricane IID. However even if HTC added this VR pilot's texture files to the ones that can be submitted with a P-38 skin it wouldn't really help. The VR pilot would still have the 3D model of an RAF desert uniform with short sleeves and shorts and there is no way it could be made to look like a USAAF or any other sort of uniform. Really it needs HTC to create new VR pilot 3D models and textures for each air force, which is a fair bit of work.
BTW I didn't skin that Japanese pilot.

Can you skin a hot red head or blonde to be my pilot?

@Greebo - Thanks for the reply and clarification, Greebo :salute
@Ack-Ack - I see your point, it does look strange. After a while I turned off the pilot texture (believe the option is on the same screen where you toggle most other enable/disable things like ground clutter).

Speed racer was the first cartoon I saw using that drawing style..1973 I was in the 8th grade.
I have always disliked it since.

That would be more accurate. The rest of you fly with just goggles on right? :bolt:
