Single view locked to cockpit in sim mode MP

Will there be the option to lock the view in sim mode?

The nose cam clearly gives you nearly twice as much FOV. I prefer to fly in cockpit but given the choice would go with nose as there's just too much of an advantage to it in MP.

Please discuss.

Cockpit view FTW!

You'll also need to lock out the planes that don't have cockpit view.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that it's not too many. The nose view does not give me the feeling of flying a particular plane, if you understand what I mean. It just feels generic

While it hasn't been confirmed, I would imagine this is limited to bombers for the most part. We shall see.

I'm not sure on this one, the cockpit view feels way more restrictive than flying a plane does in real life. Obviously I've never flown any kind of warbird so I'm thinking of the cockpit view of civilian sims vs their real life counterparts but it's like flying whilst peering through a letterbox, you have no peripheral vision. I agree it's a lot more atmospheric to play with the virtual cockpit though and that's how I'll try and get through the single player campaign.

All I'd like to see is a host option to lock the view. If not then I'll join everyone else and play wonder women style.
