The pilot's head still doesn't move!!

I use the pilot model, which fills out the cockpit nicely it's great to have that option but...

I find it a real shame not to see my wingman turn his head toward me in real time when he's looking at me.

It might seem like a trivial feature, but as seen in DCS, it really brings the aircraft next to you to life.

The same goes for the lack of a reflection in the mirrors.

Perhaps this is a feature planned for later?

Considering we have hand signals (do they work in MP?). Head movements would be great. The combination of head movement, wing flashes, and hand signals would cover almost all of the silent formation signals we could want in MP.

Are you talking about the pilot's head reflection in the mirror?  If that's the case, the mirror is not adjusted correctly (or in IL-2, the pilot's head postion needs to be adjusted).  It should be looking behind you, not at your head.  That's a problem in DCS that I always wondered about.  Showing the pilot's helmet in the mirror.  Do you see your head in your review mirror in your vehicle?

No, I don't see my own face or parts of my head in my car, but my car is much more spacious than a fighter jet cockpit. What I really want to see, though, are my wingman's head movement, I want to see when he looks at me.

You can literally see the head rest on the seats in the cockpit in the mirror. So the mirror in il2 Korea aren't angled any differently from DCS, except there no head were the head should be.

pilot's head is moving when rotating cockpit camera (I've checked this in quick flight), but at very small angle. It definitely would be nice to get head animations like those in DCS...
