No cockpit view for german planes???

After reading all of this replies I am sure Mr Anton is either, relieved because he knows this is not true or swetting like crazy because he knows that sales numbers for sim players are going down the drain...

LOL you must be right.... it's one or the other.
But I am sure Anton is not swetting too much since sim players are, most probably, not their primary target.

And you are right also when saying that all this is pure speculation but what else can we do while waiting for the final release?
At least, that shows all our interest in this game.

Surely they modelled a few axis cockpits to facilitate sim mode mulitplayer?

Otherwise this game is going to sink FAST.

There's no excuse for the 360 version - it has been finished for a LONG time. They could have easily spent time working on axix cockpits.

I'll be cancelling my pre-order unless it can be confirmed all planes in multiplayer have cockpits with exception to bombers. If you're flying with the most realistic settings then fighting someone whose view is not hindered in any way by a cockpit gives them a clear advantage though I can't believe a developer would be so short sighted as to leave out cockpits on some planes and hopefully the article referred to has made a mistake.

Why do some people think research has to be done to model these cockpits that should already be in the game?

The research was done for the original IL2. Even if BOP can't get the actual resources to use in game they have a PERFECTLY modeled cockpit that all they have to do is COPY.

Give one half decent 3D modeler one week and he can COPY what someone else has already done all the work for.

I tell you guys, this just shows how much they have rushed this game.
I think theres enough acade flight games out already. This game is ment to
be a flight sim, so there should be cockpit view for all planes.

Name one that is half as good as BOP will be.

I don't know why you refer to BOP only as "arcade". It will be a flight sim for consoles.

I agree that no cockpit views of german planes would be a weird mistake. That is why we will soon find out that it's just a rumor.

Agreed. It must be a rumour (Aussie spelling).

They would not compromise 50% of multiplayer so stupidly.

If this is true, I can only imagine the panic Anton and some of the devs must be feeling, seeing as how everyone is getting really worried and frustrated, and is threatening not to get the game because of this.

I however, will be getting the game since I recently ordered a joystick, and am getting it two days late, which should be today, but also because the game is going to be enjoyable regardless.

I mean, yes, this is a very, very big mistake if it is true.. but its not going to destroy the game as you guys say. If this is the case, they obviously worked out ways in which to make online equal, and fair.

And as you guys were mentioning, there is always room for patches.. but the only thing I don't understand.. why couldn't they just take the cockpits from IL-2: 1946, and somehow implement them into BoP.. it seems like a simple thing to do, just take the main template, and then tighten up the graphics a bit.

Anyway, all in all I hope to god this isn't true, and if it is, I however, will still be purchasing this game, and will enjoy the hell out of it!
