Hello
I have started a OXCE 7.13 game with the mods FMP + FMP extended (+ xcom visual upgrade + commendations + hqsounds).
I read somewhere that pilots mechanic are already in OXCE by default, but I don't see them (I mean, the planes flight without pilot).
Then I though a mod was needed, so I added the Top Gun mod. Then the pilots mechanic appeared, but apparently only for vanilla planes. The Raven, for example, doesn't have pilots. I asked in the Top Gun Mod, and they told me that the mod is intended to work with OXCE alone, without FMP.
Then, the question is: Is the Pilots mechanics in OXCE 7.13 by default?
Cheers and thanks in advance

Yes, the Pilot mechanics are in OXCE 7.13 by default (actually already since year 2016, OXCE 3.2): https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=4187.msg69429#msg69429
OXCE is not a mod, it's an engine.
It is up to every mod, how many pilots do their craft require.
Default is 0 (zero pilots).

Ah ok, thanks.
But then, when I start a game, with no mod, I cannot see the pilots. Does it need to be activated?

Default is 0 (zero pilots).
Which means that the vanilla games don't use pilots even if the engine has them implemented, only mods that use that functionality.
