I highly encourage everyone to post a request to the developer /MSFS why such an option is not implemented from the start.

v.1.3.0 - 23.05.2024

Holy shrunken head! Is this a too late/early Halloween prank?! This looks gross, yuck!

No, it's a collection of modifications to pilot avatars that enables you to (finally) enjoy MSFS2020 in first-person POV with a visible Pilot body and no disturbance/artifacts of the head, like some of you know it from DCS. It is meant to be used in VR, also works in 2D. All modifications are working at Level Of Detail (LOD) 0 and are only visible inside the cockpit. From outside view, everything is normal and no one has lost his head.

Comment of a User:"Many, Many thanks for taking the time to put this together. It's a VR game changer for immersion to finally see my legs in the cockpit. Any continued development is welcome and appreciated!!"

This package contains of five independent Mods that work together to allow you to use the Pilot Avatars in any combination as you want. 
Example: Capt in the A320 with no Head and FO with. Or: FO without Head and Capt with. Or both without (yuck!). There are even Invisible ones If needed, because the aircraft you are flying doesn't allow switching of only the copilot, and you want to fly solo. You Can choose any combination you want from the Miscellaneous menu in the General Options "on the fly". All pilot avatars are marked with a VR text in the image preview.

One little inconvenience is that not every plane lets you choose by default if you can see your pilot avatars when inside the cockpit or not. As a starter for you, I included a small Mod that switches the Pilot in the Asobo FA-18E to always visible. I suggest you start with it first and familiarize yourself how switching the pilots work. You will also may need to reposition and fine tune your point of view, to be in an optimal position to your virtual body. You can do it with these default MSFS commands: UP = Up Arrow, Down = Down Arrow, Left = Left Arrow, Right = Right Arrow, Forward = Alt + Up Arrow, Backward = Alt + Down Arrow.
And sorry, there is no(!) way to save it in VR. You have to redo it each time you jump into the cockpit, but you get used to it, it's like adjusting your seat.

The F-18, the Cabri and free Mozzie from Gotfriends is a very good showcase of linked hands and feet to the controls that 
are moving in sync with your inputs. Don't miss it!
I will try to add more default MSFS2020 Planes, and some that I have bought, at a later time. Please understand that I can't provide it all at the beginning as there are so many. And some I can't add at all because I don't own them. I hope that people will comment if they have a working mod for a specific aircraft that works the same as the F-18 mod or even similar to this fabulous one for the DA-40 NGX: https://de.flightsim.to/file/2738/da40-ngx-project You can click on the air vents to show/hide the Pilots, literary, on the fly. I will populate a list with similar Mods at the end, and I will post a link to a YT vid that explains how to enable the pilots for all aircraft. I also used this tutorial for the F-18 mod.

P.S.:

NOTE: Placement of the Pilots is fully dependent on the location of the aircraft's pilot / co-pilot attachment points. These positions are not modified by these add-ons. If an Pilot is clipping through the seat or only available in External View, this is because the aircraft does not have an optimal setup for Asobo Characters. These positions and arm / leg animations are maintained by the respective aircraft developer(s) and I will not be modifying these settings in any aircraft.

If you encounter any issues with the Pilots positions and / or animations, I highly encourage you to contact the aircraft developer and notify them that their aircraft is not Asobo Character ready.
