A very bad learning tool.....

I quit playing Open Cockpit when people used external views of other players to figure out where they are.

Look at all the hotkeys you get when you dump external views. OTOH when you stop using those views you lose a big edge on servers that allow them.

Pick your arena. Some like city, some like country, some like the burbs.

It is possible to allow externals only on friendly aircraft. Servers have got more tools now. Even the one that allows to have externals when not on the air, but you can only change in between allowed views.
