No cockpit view for german planes???

[cydno]

Hi everyone,

Sorry if I am posting a double thread... but...

I have read in a french article concerning BoP multiplayer, that there will be no cockpit view when playing the german planes...

for those who understand french here is the link: http://www.micromania.fr/zooms/index...pezoom=Preview

Is this true??? Or, have I missed something? Is there any thread concerning this?

Thx

hopefully there will be more planes with cockpits than just the ones you fly in the campaign missions, but if not maybe they can release the rest as DLC?

I've read through the article, although my french isn't that good ( only had it for two years in school, then I switched to german, which I can read better than french), but as far as I can tell there is no mention of missing cockpits in multiplayer.

edit: completely missed the first part of the article, you're referencing to this part right?
"Les appareils allemands se limitant au multijoueur. Et, grosse déception, ces appareils "germains" n'auront pas de cockpit. "

seems to me like a really strange choice to make by the dev team and I assume this was only the case in the preview version. most preview versions of games only contain a few levels and unfinished multiplayer things. I think this is the case for this preview version too.

The writer must be misinformed then....

Anyway I think it's not possible because Anton said that all 3 lmodes would be playable on multiplayer. And Sim mode implies only cockpit view so...

There must be a mistake! (hope so...)

Sim mode also includes Virtual Cockpit!

So this might be pretty bad news!

Here is the thread that talks about it.

i can understand how much work it would have been to model all the cockpits , but what happens when a plane doesnt have a cockpit and you need to fly it?

I think this report was an early preview of the game. I was at the Games Convention in Leipzig last year, and played this game there. The IL2 Sturmovik hasn't a cockpit at this time too.
