What I hate about IL-2 1946, is that most 90% of the servers have external views on. Thats what I love about sim in BOP, that you have cockpit/virtual cockpit only.
The 1946 servers that do have cockpit only, are a bit too hardcore for me (have icons off, and teams are not red/blue, so you cant really see who is who. and the have the speedbar off, so you need to watch that low detail cockpit airspeed indicator all the time).
anyways, playing some nice sim TD in bop now
