I started of course with the cockpit view and never use (in any flight game, like AC6, OGF) the virtual cockpit. However, a few attempt to simply land the plane in sim mode/cockpit view was near impossible. Couldn't see a damned thing (silly me)

So i thought, let's try virtual cockpit. Well, first time land was spot on.

Then i noticed as well how BEAUTIFUL the game was. In virual cockpit you really see a lot of action going on in the skies. Stuka's dive bombing the harbour etc. Beautiful. All of that is a lot less in real cockpit view (partly because look-around is a pain, even with the stick it still is not that easy).

So ... that's what is bothering me a bit. Take virtual cockpit and things become more easy AND more beautiful .... but also, yes, more GENERIC and less immersion

I think for SP i'll go for virtual cockpit but i wouldn't mind a HOST OPTION in MP which restrict to 'cockpit view only'

my .02 cents
