Anton said the planes would be available to fly in free flight, or training missions where you can just fly around or set your loadout of whatever you want it to be.

Can't see it being true as it would turn a large proportion of the IL2 fanbase away (including me) ..... mind you I don't recall seeing any cockpit shots of any german aircraft up till now..

Unfortunately, I think more emphasis was put on the arcade aspects of the game and winning over that audience than was put on sim mode and winning over the traditional flight-sim fans.

I'm still buying and playing the game...and probably playing it for a very long time. It will be my first "sim" that I've played so I'm sure I will enjoy it. Though, I can't help but wonder "what might have been" if compromises hadn't been made for the arcade mode and more emphasis would have been placed on the sim aspect. Even if it is my first "sim", the lack of cockpits for all of the planes is very disappointing and like everyone else here, I pin my hopes on DLC or a sequel.
