Vote your choice - Clickable Cockpits or Not

[KOM.Nausicaa]

Voted no. Clickable cockpits belong to a civil flight sim, or a sim that focuses on one plane / helicopter. In my opinion it's making things complicated that should be easy during combat and there are too many different planes and cockpits around.

In bombers maybe, fighters no. Too much going on during a dogfight/mission to have a good chance of hitting that small button with your mouse really and still being in control of the situation. Maybe a touch-screen feature would be nice in the future, just touch your screen where the button is to activate.

You can have both, you either use the clickable objects or use a hotkey. It's not like you have too use one or the other - it's optional.

S!

Would work with TrackIR perfectly, just look around and clickety click

[rakinroll]

I would say more realism and prefer key options instead of click.

Voted no but it seems there are a lot of people who'd like this so hopefully it's possible for 3rd party devs to develop clickable cockpits or maybe it can be added in future releases. I just don't want SoW to be delayed because of this.

I used to think clickable cockpits were a gimmick but this video convinced me:

The clickable cockpit isnt for me. I'd much rather have more realism in the flight dynamics, damage modelling, weapons effects, visuals and sounds. From the Spitfire video that was recently released as far as graphics go, we seem to be there.

Adding a clickable cockpit now would only delay further the release IMHO

I get you point, but my gosh... you'll never get to fly that aircraft.

The only sense I can make of it. If it was being used as a simulator for "REAL" pilots. You'd need two power gloves of course. Along with a the virtual systems helmet,etc.

Sorry, I'd rather watch paint dry than flip a hundred buttons and be going nowhere. (sitting in my chair)

Big fat no from me. But "touchable" cockpit switches....maybe!

Touch screens are getting more and more popular, so this may be cool to have in a WWII combat sim.

I can see this in a civ flight sim as it is a learning tool. Who needs to learn the switches on these birds. We sure as heck aren't ever going to fly them.
