So i thought, let's try virtual cockpit. Well, first time land was spot on.

Then i noticed as well how BEAUTIFUL the game was. In virual cockpit you really see a lot of action going on in the skies. Stuka's dive bombing the harbour etc. Beautiful. All of that is a lot less in real cockpit view (partly because look-around is a pain, even with the stick it still is not that easy).

So ... that's what is bothering me a bit. Take virtual cockpit and things become more easy AND more beautiful .... but also, yes, more GENERIC and less immersion

I think for SP i'll go for virtual cockpit but i wouldn't mind a HOST OPTION in MP which restrict to 'cockpit view only'

my .02 cents
I've been having the same feelings. Usually, durning the course of play, I have SO much trouble finding the other aircraft I'm supposed to be killing (this is in sim mode of course). So I use the virtual cockpit to locate them, but I actually find the real cockpit to be more steady and to really let me 'feel' the plane as I'm attacking, so I've been getting more kills in that cam.

Now that I'm use to no cockpit I'm just as good as flying and feeling the plane as cockpit view. TBH thats a problem for online play....unless you can lock it.
