feat: Pilot Avatars visible via flyPad setting

Open frankkopp opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Summary of Changes

Adds pilot avatars in cockpit view for pilot and first officers

Motivation is that many users still try to use a flightsim.to add-on to show avatars which constantly leads to issues and support cases with the A32NX. With this feature this add-on is not required any more and users who want to have the pilot avatars visible can simply turn it on in the flyPad.

Discord username (if different from GitHub): Cdr_Maverick#6475

Note to Reviewers

  • gltf files have been reformated (JSON) to be better manually editable - therefore no real diff
  • the camera.cfg file has also been correctly formatted which leads to many diff changes

Testing instructions

  • Per default avatars should not be visible
  • Go to the flyPad Realsim Settings page and turn on pilot and first officer and check if avatars are visible in each combination

Do we need to edit the base model, or can we add the objects as normal with our model build script? That would be greatly preferable.

This needs to be reverted. Changes were made to the base model file which resulted in a double cockpit mesh, causing lots of flickering throughout the cockpit and duplicate gravity gear extension handles. image
