How it will be in final - I can't say now. The pilots models now are in progress and only when we will begin to program them we may see all possibilities how to make it well with minimal compromisses. Old Il-2 pilots for this puropse and program are not siutable in any way. So it will be known only more later.
PS. If to make the same cockpits from inside and outside view all the time - then we will overload the sim so much, and then we will need to forget about playable FPS.
We alreay put so much, that probably even not nesesary, looking for other game where all doing many sthings more simplified and all are glad...  |
In LFS (Live For Speed) the cockpit shares the exact same detail in external and internal view, but obviously it cannot be compared to SOW because LFS is dx8 and it's not heavy at all, there really is no need for optimization in that sector.
