Cockpit view question
 

While watching some of the videos I noticed that when in cockpit view the cockpit moves around when rolling. Will there be a toggle to turn that on and off? The moving cockpit views drive me nuts.

I think that's there to mimic the difference between head motion and the aircraft yaw, roll etc., but good question none the less.

I would like to know if we will be able to look around while in cockpit view? (and not just when 'locked on' to a specific target)

This is where lack of buttons on a console pad comes into it. First thought was look using the D pad but thats order wingmen. Hmmm. Anton?

I don't know how the view is going to work. Anton says the Right stick will be throttle. Weird I know. On Hawx right stick is to look around and dpad issues orders and triggers do the throttle.

WEP (afterburn) - is only on when throttle 100% AND you are trying to increase it (right stick up on gamepad).

In all other ways - throttle is staying where you left it (between 1% to 100%).
But I have to notice, that our 'throttle' is combined throttle+'propeller pitch', and behaves different on different planes (more noticable in simulation mode, of course).

Thats why I'm gonna get an Aviator so I can have seperate throttle and camera sticks.

i have the sony playstation keyboard attached to my controler and im sure x box has the same sort of thing aswell why not make full use of them for sim mode. im sure you already thought about this though anton?

I bought one of those xbox compatible Saitek aviator flight sticks specifically for this game months ago. (pointing to it... still in box... collecting dust) :( I also was so excited about the BoP videos that I went out and bought the IL-2 1946 for my PC just to get warmed up.

the analog stick on the ace edge flight stick will control the camera

Anton's already answered this. Click and hold the right stick to look around. The thread's here somewhere.

I have reservations about how they laid out the controls, but I've got the Aviator so I guess I won't sweat it.
I was able to set up IL2 on the PC on my 360 controller though, there's no reason this game can't fit on there nicely with it actually being developed for it. It doesn't have to be over-simplified.
