Fighter Pilot Helmet and Flight Suit

nabob21

There are lots of great fighter jets available for sale in the store but only one flight suit that I can find (and it is only for G8M). Additionally, there are no flight helemts for pilots at all. It would be great if someone made a flight suit for G8F and a flight helmet for both G8M and G8F.

yeah, I would love to have this for DS https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/military/military-character/fighter-pilot-pack

I am tempted to get it since it is on sale and see if I can rig it.

It's really to bad DS doesn't import FBX files properly. Would be great to have this one also since it is rigged https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/military/military-character/flight-suit-fighter-pilot-rigged

if you need just a helmet, here is a detailed F35 one https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/military/armor/fighter-pilot-flight-helmet

or this one https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/military/armor/high-quality-hgu-33-fighter-pilot-helmet-with-mbu-12-oxygen-mask

Thanks for the links FSMCDesigns. I wonder how well the two helmets you linked to would fit the G8 figures? Have you tried fitting anything like these before?

It doesn't need to be rigged, so just position it into place, maybe scale it if needed and parent. I do this often with helmets I have for other generations or got from other 3D stores like this

I use this same method for lots of clothing from other 3D sites, things like boots, helmets, backpacks etc. etc.  It's not perfect but it works well enough and you can always touch-up after rendering

The full flight suit has Blender files. I don't know if that helps.

For posing in blender, but not DS. It's not any different from any rigged FBX game character that gets ripped from a game. None will import into DS with rigging intact (I have tried so many times)

If you are prepared to move this from M4 to G8, try M4 Air Crew Set. I don't know how accurate you need it or modern, but this is pretty close to what we issued to pilots when I was in the Air Force. Of course, different type of aircraft requires different hoses and hook-ups and you might need to use shaders to make it look like Nomex fabric.
