Tanner, let's assume there is no reflection in the canopy even at the highest settings. Can you think of a better way to mention that than "There is every indication that those stunning cockpits are ridiculously inaccurate with respect to lighting"?

You're entitled to your opinion, but I can't say I know what shadows look like inside a fighter cockpit. The video you linked really didn't provide conclusive evidence one way or the other, and for all we know at higher settings than the OP's video there are reflections on the canopy. We certainly see light reflections on it in a few of the videos scattered on the forums. I can see where you might be concerned, but I have not seen any evidence that supports your claims about the in cockpit shadows being wrong, and even if they aren't 100% accurate I don't see how you can declare the visuals in the cockpit as anything less than stunning.

Do you know of any WW2 sims with better cockpit graphics than in this game?

Sadly, I suspect you'd complain even if you got your hands on a real Spit.

Strop trolling, contribute something to the discussion or contest a point instead of making these snarky jabs at people (and I stand by this no matter who is being criticised, even if I disagree with them).

Helicon, as soon as you get moderator status I'll start to take you seriously.
