Well, the Micromania PREview started the whole 'no german cockpits' fire, and was in fact THE reason why ppl (like yourself) specificly asked the devs during the broadcast.
What i did was just WONDERING what the micromania guy actually PREviewed. Prolly not the final/retail version.
Of course i believe the word of a dev. So, the broadcast gives hope/evidence that german cocpits will be in (but not all)
