Simulation Mode + Multiplayer = Cockpit & virtual cockpit?

[l88bastard]

When we are playing in multiplayer and elect for a Simulation match, will we be be able to switch from the cockpit view to the virtual cockpit view like we can in the single player demo?

If so then, I am going to just chock up the multiplayer as being the suck and not even bother. I HATE the virtual cockpit and refuse to use it cause it annoys me and looses so much immersion, so if I am in a simulation dogfight match online and my competition can use the virtual cockpit view and get a 60% view advantage over me than the fun and fairness of the multiplayer dogfighting is totally lost.

Soooo any word on this.... I know there are no german cockpits (which is total crap, at least put the 109 and the other really popular fighter cockpit in their), so will we be able to filter the match to only allow cockpit planes and only allow cockpit views?

They planning to add those via DLC.

Virtual would def be an advantage, if you could pick. Should be one, or the other.

I asked Anton a few days ago if one of the options in online play would be to fix the view that everyone will use and I got a one word answer "yep". Pretty clear! Having asked the question myself I could not agree more with your concerns but it looks like they've addressed this particular one.

Ok this is excellent news!

The bad news is that with the cockpit view locked in there are only 12 planes, all of them Allied, to choose from.

No cockpit view for the German and bombers ?
This is very bad news, the first but very bad.

I saw myself already in the cockpit of my beautiful Bf 109 K-4 to track down Spitfires and P-51 Or in the cockpit of a He-111 look right to left through the panoramic glass roof if there are fighter in the vicinity.

I am very disappointed ( and many people in the french forum "jeuxvideo.com" too)
Anyway, this game is still a head of Artwork (it's still a hard blow for me who am a fanatical of German aviation)

I hope this problem will be solved in a next il-2.

a reminder...according to Anton a german cockpit or two will feature in patch/dlc sept/oct

lets keep it in perspective
