Is it easier to land with cockpit on?

[CrazySchmidt]

I agree, although I haven't flown or landed with cockpit off for a very long time. I think it is the reference with the aircraft to the ground that makes the difference.

I go back and forth depending on who I'm flying with. I find it equally difficult with and without cockpit. wehn landing without cockpit it is very important to use that little piper (betcha didn't know what it was for), the little piper shows the direction the plane is actually moving in, while the reticle shows where the nose is pointing, kind of an all directional AoA indicator, lol.

Never flew without a cockpit and wouldn't want to. I usually land a couple of increments back from Gunsight view and I usually land (fighters) by side-slipping to check past the nose if necessary. It's a flight sim after all.

Pit-off is very disorienting to me whether flying, landing, or crashing.

For me it is....

In short: Pit - off = Arcade = why bother with Landing
Pit - on = Flight - Sim = as it should be
