    Hi, how do I request a female avatar as an option in the Warrior? I know the limitations of MSFS from my experience in the Arrow, but the default avatar is not one of the choices in MSFS. So it logically would be an avatar created by JF. As such, I'd like to request the possibility of a female option, perhaps from the EFB?

    Thanks

    You can select any of the MSFS avatars as your co-pilot - https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/articles/17000118137-co-pilot-views

    e.g. for the female pilot with airline uniform:

    @Martyn Yes, I understand that. I'm talking about the PIC, I like to fly solo, without a CP, and would like to have the option of the pilot being female as well. The pilot in the Warrior (and the Arrow as well) is not one of the avatars from MSFS, as I stated in my original post, so it is one that JF created. If that's the case, then I'm requesting you also create a female avatar for the pilot and give us the option of choosing it.

    Having said that, please please fix the problems with Update 5 first. A female pilot is something I'd like to see eventually, but it is only a very minor distraction from my enjoyment of the Warrior, particularly compared the changes needed to restore full functionality after Update 5.

    @katchaplin What do you mean? There's no avatar drawn in the left seat because that's where you sit. So if there was, you'd be sitting inside their 3d model anyway

    The exterior model has our long-standing male pilot rather than an MSFS avatar. We'd lose certain features by switching to an avatar, such as the animations synced to the movement of the yoke and rudder pedals, and modelling a new female pilot option would involve a lot of work (these are complex to model) but we'll certainly add it to the list for possible future updates.

    @Martyn great, thanks, that's all I'm asking, that you consider it as a future update.

    @vcapra1 hi, I'm talking about the external view, after engine start or during the flight. The avatar is currently a middle-aged male in a sweater.

    While this is a Warrior thread, I just want to back @katchaplin for the option of having female pilots... for me personally for the Arrow III since that is my go to plane. Requested it a while back to Support, so hoping it is on the roadmap!

    @Martyn, is it not at all possible to use the MSFS stock pilots?
