Remove pilot from external view

Post by billhuntsman »

This is a really small issue, but is there a way to temporarily remove the image of the pilot during the walk around? I feels a little less immersive to see "myself" in the plane while I do the walk around. I thought I remembered a menu choice for "remove pilot", but I can't find any such choice. Maybe I am thinking of another aircraft. I also can't find any info with a forum search.

I don't have the 182, but one way to remove the pilot in the Comanche is to open the Shift+4 panel, then click on the pilot in the airplane. The pilot is now out of the airplane. The pilot "gets back into the airplane" whenever you go from external view back to inside the cockpit.

I don't empty the airplane that much because it always comes back with the default pilot, and I like to fly my airplane with the other guy.

It would be cool to have a silver-haired grandpa pilot!

How did I not see the Empty Plane item on the Shift+3 menu? I guess I am showing my age. Thanks for the help.
