Hi All,

I've created a simple generic pilot model for civilian aircraft, based on
Dave Perry's self-portrait/sculpture/model for the PA24-250.

It's available as a patch from
http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/pilot.tar.gz, and it is designed to be
placed in the data/Aircraft/Instruments-3d directory.

It has the following properties:
- Easily added to any A/C
- Visibility toggled based on the value of /sim/model/pilot/visible (*)
- Motion based on rudder/elevator/aileron positions (though the entire
body moves rather than just the head).
- Multiple (randomly) configurable skins. Currently there are two of Dave
Perry, plus one of myself.

To use:
- Include the xml file within your model definition
- execute the pilot.nas file to select a random skin for the model.

(*) I've also got a patch for rendering.xml to allow this to be set:-
http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/rendering.xml.diff

It would be quite amusing to have a skin from each of the developers (and
anyone else who wants to contribute). The .rgb files are fairly
self-explanatory - simply paste in a front and two side-shots of your
head, and choose a torso and leg colour.

Enjoy!

-Stuart
