No cockpit view for german planes???

[Whiskey Red]

P-51, I don't know everything. There's no need to be defensive. If you want arcade games without cockpits, they already exist. I was only hoping this one would be different.

I hope you do become a pilot. It was one of the best and most rewarding decisions I have ever made.

Finally, and I mean no offense, this is the attitude that I am talking about.

Just know, however, that simply by keeping this type of outlook, we allow mediocrity by these companies. Take no excuses.

Good luck and I will plan to purchase this game after I have researched further.

I don't understand why Anton is being so silent about this.

I'm a bit disappointed also. I may just pick up IL-2 1946 instead.

I saw Anton on here earlier, and when I looked at his profile he was looking at this thread. So no answer probably means there is nothing good he could say about the situation, and for him, confirming all the Axis planes lack cockpits would just make things worse. Hopefully this thread will convince him to put cockpits high on the list of patch priorities.

All i gotta say is: aaaaaarrrrrrrgggghhhh. I hope it's not true, but if it is, it's not TOO major a fault, but German cockpits would definitely be cool. Since you spoke about IL2:1946, are the lobbies still active for that? And are there expansions for the game or is '46 an expansion itself? I didn't ask on the '46 forum because that would look really dumb, but I have a few questions about that anyways. Maybe someone could watch videos and help us out a bit with the cockpit issue...

[guiltyspark]

Can you just give us an answer?

Its really important

[SlappyDingle]

I think we need to just deal with the grim reality. I mean, they had to repurpose the P47 cockpit for the P51 so I don't have ANY hope at all for the Axis side....

This game has nothing to do with flight sim, its just awsome graphics and
for those looking for another arcade flight game. If this was a flight sim, there would be cockpit view for these planes. And also have accurate
cockpits instead of a P-47 for a P-51. Now there is a problem with
german cockpits. This game may look awsome, but its turning way into
another arcade flight game.

i understand that this may not be a flight sim to the standards of recent PC games over the year, but can people really slap the devs and fans in the face enough to say its just graphics and arcade style.? are you positive that with a flightstick and on sim difficulty you wouldnt be able to call this a real flight sim? yes, it may be missing things, but what games perfect; especially one trying to bring a genre to the consoles. This games gonna be good, its gonna be fun - i think were sending out the wrong messages.

You're darn right it is!

The way I see it, PC gamers are the ones who are most upset about the game missing this or MAYBE missing that. Because they've had great games in the genre for a long time now.

Console gamers, like myself, will be much more forgiving simply because a game like this has never been made. Does that mean I would be happy that the game is missing one or two important things? No. But some substituted cockpits and some missing cockpits (supposedly) won't turn me away one bit.

BTW, if it is true there are missing pits I would bet my bottom dollar there will be an update that includes them on day one or shortly thereafter.
