No Pilot Avatar visible.

[Biggawalty]

Hello folks. My apologies if this has been answered before but I'm still running MSFS 2020 and I just bought this aircraft. I don't have any pilot/first officer avatars visible in the flight deck from the external view. When I load the pax version, I can see pax in the cabin and that's excellent but no pilots. Could someone just let me know how to go about getting a pilot/pilots avatars in the flight deck? Many thanks!

Hello,

This is a known issue and should be resolved in the next update. 

Thank you 🙂

Thanks for the update to F406 1.0.2! Unfortunately, I still don't see any pilots in the cockpit (2020). What should I do? Thanks, Arndt EDDP

I am very disappointed......it is a ghost plane......

Still no pilots..... but passengers.... looks a bit silly.

I just realized: On July 13th, I had the pilot and copilot! That was the release version. What happened?

Can confirm. No Pilot Avatar on v1.0.2 on MSFS2020.

I concur. Just tried flying it again. No visible pilot. Immersion killer for me. Hangared until further refinements made.

Any news on that? Obviously it wasn't fixed in the last update as stated before.

Again, there is no visible Pilot/Co-Pilot in external view on v1.0.2 on MSFS2020.
It is very unfortunate that this little visual detail actually makes quite of a big impact as it kinda ruins every screenshot.

Hello all,

Apologies for the inconvenience. I have prodded the team regarding this issue and will get back to you all with an answer once I have one.

Thank you 🙂

Re-downloaded it today and installed via inimanager. Still no visible pilots. Uninstalled and hangared again until further refinements. Disappointed.

Same issue now in 2024.
