| UPDATE v0.5 is a minor update to correct some character selection issue regarding the airliner pilots...thanks @IcyMittens for pointing it out and even sending me a corrected cfg...sorry it took so long buddy!!!
A huge shoutout to the Flight Sim Community for being a friendly and helpful place...this update includes a few of those members who have been so kind in helping me expand the modding community. Without your help I'd just be flying!
This is a huge texture update allowing you to choose charcaters with a variety of faces!
Please remove any previous "the-newbies" or "tsi-buddies" pilot mods from your Community folder as this update has change the names and configurations of the folder.
This is a standalone mod that is dropped into the community folder that will add 25 additional casual pilots, femal pilots, and airline pilots to the list of default pilot avatars. I have removed the option for choosing stock pilots as scrolling to find the option is a lot with them as options!
******Thumbnails currently do not work with SU7 and a zendesk ticket has been submitted*****
Thumbnails are still in the package and should show once the error is corrected from MS/Asobo...I have included a character sheet png in the main folder that will help you to see the characters you are selecting!!!
Thumbnails are now included for easy pilot selection
Pilots are chosen from the Options\Misc. tab within the sim.
I have not found a conflict with having this mod and one ground texture mod installed. Pilots will show as well as your ground crew texture of choice. These are seperate models.
I know that we don't spend much time looking at the pilot to begin with...but if we have to we may as well enjoy it!
If you enjoy this mod or have suggestions please drop a comment below!

I created a couple of new pilot avatars. How do you create the thumbnails for the pilot avatars?

Thanks for the awesome mod! I'm thinking 310 Pilot and his lovely co-pilot. Also Steveo1Kinevo for that TBM. Thanks again!.

Hello.
Thanx for your nice mod.
Do you have any idea why it seems not working with the last ver. of payware AH145 (Hype Performance Group)? I mean, even if in heli' setup I choose the default pilot (Asobo) I can show only the Hype or no pilot at all.
Thank you.
Best regards and "arrivederci" from Roma!
Ciao.

I like the mod but it deleted the default pilots. Is there a way to restore the original pilots? I read somewhere to select default then restart the sim but that did not work. Thanks.

How can edit your .DDS? (I tried with GIMP, PaintShopPro, DXTBmp but these programs don't recognize the files...

paint.net is a wonderful program for DDS opening and converting!
Fabiani 7 month(s) ago
I did it, thanks.
But, does the mode work with last update?

Does this still remove the defaults or are they now also available, I really dont want to go without the defaults since I use those too
twoseventyinc 9 month(s) ago
Sorry friend but they still do remove the stock pilots!
Nautiker777
What about the default airliner pilots? I miss them..Or is that a Asobo bug? Also I would miss some less fashioned pilots with ordinary clothes for ordinary pilots/people 😉
Arkaboer
I like the addon, thanks. However, I would prefer that instead of some pilots with such tacky dresses there were others with uniforms or normal dresses.

Can you find a way to give some pilots a helmet? Great for hems flying.
twoseventyinc 11 month(s) ago
believe me friend I have tried to change out character pieces but at the moment I have had 0 luck in the attempts!
DC6Pilot 11 month(s) ago
Is it hard to create them from scratch? What program do you use to create them?
twoseventyinc 11 month(s) ago
it's a combination of Blender and Substance Painter to create and paint 3D models...Problem is that the models use a completely different setup than anything else in sim and I am not able to export new character bone animations at the present time!

twoseventyinc 1 year(s) ago
we should be back up and running friends...sorry for the inconvenience
Nautiker777 1 year(s) ago
thank you for yor fast fix!!! I hope Asobo will fix the thumbnail bug (as they are not visible). Can't beliefe that they have always overseen such minor things.
MWesterbeek
Great job! I was wondering could you also make custom (co)pilots? Or would that be too much work? Maybe I could dm you somewhere?
twoseventyinc 1 year(s) ago
hey friend...I have not been able to import and use a custom model though i have tried many many many times!!!
MWesterbeek 1 year(s) ago
Ah shame! Thanks for replying so quickly!

No work. No charactere in cockpit.
JennyD
doesn't seem to work choosing any pilot the seats of the plane are empty though to be honest i didn't really like any of the characters they looked to garish and tacky
DaRadicalCavy
Flipping awesome. Just downloaded and did some editing so removed all male pilots as I never use them, not once lol, but am wondering how I can add the casual female pilot back? I see the airline pilot is there and would like option of having the female casual as an option. I assume can just copy the female airline pilot line but edit code slightly, what would I need to put? Cheers!
