Personally I love the clickable Cockpits.

It seems to be that you a typical Arcarde Gamer with no connection to
the real environment of a plane.

Did you flew a plane? Maybe you should do that, then you will find out
that a plane can´t be startet easily with a Button "i" ;-)

The clickable Cockpits are a great Enhancement of IL2 Series and i really
hope that Luthier will increase the clickable Elements in all Cockpits. I
really love the new Engine Management and what happend if you do some
things wrong (for example Oil Cooler)

You should better play Wings of Prey, if you need a short Arcarde Session!

Sry if it came across in the wrong way.

Ah, we misunderstood. My apologies :grin:

sorry - i understand now. It was a misunderstood of his sentences

How do you guys use the clickable cockpit in flight anyway? do you move your mouse over to the other side of your keyboard and use it with your off hand? I can't really see any other way without taking your hand off the stick. I guess if I could rig some way to have my stick in the center I could swap hands on the stick, though I can't imagine flying with my left hand for more than a few seconds.

We sould have a setting in Option menu to choose if we preffer it on by default.

i love clickable cockpit too, as being a fsx and dcs player for years, but i found implementation in Clod a bit limited, i hope they will expand it more over time, and i found a grat problem , mouse lag, at least im my rig the mouse has some delay that its very annoying.I dont like too the vay in wich some instrument are manipulated, with left or right zone selectable , i prefer to click and drag to select the values because you need less precission.

Clickable cockpits are great when done right.

There are menus?

DCS A-10C and Blackshark is so nice you click it goes one way, right click it goes the other, roll the mouse wheel or drag - rotaries go round and round. NICE, Immersive, quick, easy, and get back to flying and situational awareness.

Why did they do COD with menus then? Must be a reason?
