Is it easier to land with cockpit on?

[Chivas]

When I first installed IL-2 in the beta test days the 109 cockpit was so immersive that I've flown full cockpit since then. When my old cfs2 squadm8's made the move to IL-2 they stayed with the open cockpit servers. When I tried to go back to open pit, I was totally disoriented by not having the cockpit bars for reference during heated combat. There is no way I could go back to open pits.
