Thx H Lecter... if this is a virtual cockpit view then this actually means that we cannot fly a german plane in Sim mode because Sim mode (as I see it) must be played seated in a cockpit.
This also means, I guess, that Sim mode players like me will only be flying allies planes... and this leads to an Allies versus Allies multiplayer battle(with cockpit view)... that sounds weird doesn't it?

I think this report was an early preview of the game. I was at the Games Convention in Leipzig last year, and played this game there. The IL2 Sturmovik hasn't a cockpit at this time too.

Unfortunately, the article I am refering to has been published today, just a few hours ago.
Also the writer is using the future to describe the problem so....

Yep it does.

I wish we could get a statement from Anton. But he mentioned something about an NDA with the publisher, so he can only tell what he is allowed to.

I would not be able to refrain from buying IL-2, but it would be a serious disappointment.

Are...you...serious?

I just bought a friggin' Ace Edge stick for this game and now it doesn't have a major component as to why I'd want to play it?


I can't stand console sometimes. They are so...just...dumb....and...eRehehgrg

I truly hope this is misinformation. That would be such a horrible shame to not have 109 or 190 cockpits. I just see that as completely ridiculous.

I'm seriously pissed. I know, it's a game. But dang. NO COCKPITS FOR GERMAN PLANES?! Even on a gameplay standpoint, that means that in multiplayer if you play for the opposing team you a) don't get the full immersion you should be getting and b) have a SERIOUS advantage over any Allied players.

i would rather have 40 functional planes with a few without cockpits then 8 functioning planes that all have cockpits

What about this post?

What I don't understand is that all this stuff has already been researched and released in previous IL2 games. Even if you can't get the actual resources from the other IL2 games, you have an EXACT copy of what you have to do. Look at the cockpit Maddox made and copy it. No research, just one guy that can run a 3D modeling program.
