As for the real BoB pilots not having cameras stuck to thier faces; They didn't need to because they had eyes. Is flyby view therefore not needed as it's unrealistic? And god knows how all those BoB pilots had room in the cockpit to use thier mouse.. Is there a mouse mat in that spit cockpit?

This forum never ceases to amaze me with what people will complain about.

If it's not trees, it's tracers or fire... or video cameras if that is the fashionable thing to discuss

Welcome to IL-2 forums. It's been like this since 2001!

The 'trees' thread is a personal favourite of mine..

Thanks, been lurking for a while and am actually a Birds of Prey (PS3.. don't laugh!) player who's waiting for SOW as an excuse to buy a good PC (come on Oleg!).

I come here specifically for the SoW bashing.. it's funny.

Meh, I think the environmental aspects are really important to the game; if you live and have flown over blighty, seeing envronmental pieces that looks wrong can ruin the immersion a bit. But let's not split hairs; one persons meat is anothers poison.

Personally, I don't care about what the camera is like. Either way when flying a sim on the PC you are at a disadvantage to real life where you have periphieral vision. It really makes a big difference.
