Simulation Mode + Multiplayer = Cockpit & virtual cockpit?

Its pretty bad news.

12 planes are going to get boring pretty quickly. The ones I know about are the Spitfire, Hurricane, I-16, Il10, and P47, and the P51 apparently shares the P47s cockpit, so that will be there. I just hope the three marks of Spitfire aren't being counted as three of the 12 planes. Might be a Yak-3 or one or two of the other Russian fighters for the two Russian campaigns, but I haven't seen these yet. I think at least one of the 12 is a heavy bomber, and they don't have cockpits, so the list is down to 11. If the planes are locked to their respective sides then the only mode which will work is Dogfight.

Because of this, I will probably play in Sim matches that allow all aircraft, and just use something with a cockpit myself.

Amen to that, but the Bf109 and Fw190 cockpits can't get here soon enough.

I would rather they got a couple of accurate real cockpits up for the Bf109 and Fw190 and then used these for all the single engined Axis aircraft, replacing these with the correct cockpits as these were made. Same for the Allied aircraft. That way the planes would have cockpits, even if they weren't all the right ones, and eventually we would end up with every plane having the right cockpit.

Dont think so if you consider budget etc.

2 cockpit is not much.

List of German planes in this game:
Bf-109
Bf-110
Fw-190
He-111
Ju-87 Stuka
Me 262
Me 163 komet
He-162
Hs-123
Ar-234

planes than i would hope to use frequently in MP : Bf-109 k, He-111, He-162, He-219 Pe-2, Il-2, B-17
If I understood, none of these 7 planes have a cockpit view.
It is very discouraging.
And only the Bf 109 cockpit should be present in the DLC.

the FW-190 has the nicest cockpit of all WWII planes. It's the interior of an 80's japanese sports car! lol

If you join a game where you are locked into the cockpit view I assume this would prevent any team based games because all planes would be allies and so you wouldn't know who is on your team.

Demo is awesome by the way, can't wait to get the full game
