I love tracking an opponent who I'm in tight who slips below me and having to tip a wing briefly to get a look at his heading and any moves he may make!

Cockpit is very importent when in a dog fight looking around, you could easly lose your heading in no cockpit veiw and hit the ground. So if your wing tip and you hear no sound, rudder 30 the other way around.

HauptmannMolders you fly sim right?

always cockpit: take off, landing, flight, combat.

I'm always cockpit as well, as long as I'm flying planes that have them. I find the actual reticle helps with my accuracy (which sucks anyway).

I like virtual cockpit the best, but find myself switching between all three(or two in some planes) because I think different views work better in different situations.:)

I always fly cockpit, I dont think its the most efficient view for combat (restricted view, oil on windscreen etc.) but its deffinitely the one I enjoy using the most.

Always cockpit for me too, it's far more immersive and looks cool when your pulling hard on the stick and can see the trail from the wing tips! :)

Actually, I would recommend map-view......until more realism controls are given.
