its a bit like drive sims, I'm quicker with a bonnet view, but drivers seat view is so much more rewarding...plus the instruments are handy...

The bad news is that with the cockpit view locked in there are only 12 planes, all of them Allied, to choose from.

Exactly! +1 Good car analogy.

I find the cockpit much easier to remain orientated. I often forget which direction my plane is facing when looking at a target in virtual cockpit... :rolleyes:

with the cockpits its relative, but I reckon the more you use a cockpit, the more you wanna stick with it...the virtual is great for field of view, but there are aspects of intuitive play that require a cockpit for correct orientation...

That's a misunderstanding, unless you mean the game isn't Sim unless it is cockpit only view. When locked to cockpit only view by the host the game is indeed only 12 Allied planes, but all planes are usable if the host leaves the game as Sim with the choice of cockpit and virtual cockpit views. Also Anton has promised the cockpits for the Bf109 and Fw190 will be added by the end of this year, if not sooner.
