anton , im assuming that different models of planes will have the same cockpit

I would rather have them add accurate cockpits to all the planes and release it in December than release it earlier and cut some things.

So far i am not impressed with the effort they have put in to this game. I am a huge fan of the PC version and im one of those people who live for realism. I really thought this game was going to be even better than the first one ( i also thought it would be for PC ) and that it would be very realistic. I am unimpressed for now. I do LOVE the grahpics ill give them that. But other than that, not so good. But, i will prob buy this game anyways......

I agree. But I don't think they will do it.

I doubt the publishers will give us anything we ask them for. Anton is the only one that listens to us but he even said they might not give us what we ask for.

Yes I miss the good ol' days of games designed by the gamer for the gamer...now it's games designed by the publisher for the casual gamer.

That is the price we pay for gaming becoming a multi-billion dollar industry.

Gaming by gamers for gamers died a very long time ago.

I've heard many complaints on here from people saying "I don't like X so I won't be buying the game unless it's fixed!" I thought most of these posts were silly, but now I find myself in a fairly similar situation. Here's the deal: I'm going to be dropping over $100 on this game if I get it, since I need to get a flight stick as well. So far I like the game. I DLed the demo and enjoyed it. However, if I'm going to spend $100 I expect to get a game that's complete. This lack of cockpits for some planes has me concerned that this isn't so. It's not difficult to model a cockpit. Just get a photo from a book and make the dials and switches. My little brother can accomplish far more complex modeling jobs in a day and he doesn't even have any formal training! If I was an arcade player, I wouldn't care, but I intend to play in sim where there is no external view. I can understand if the game was rushed by the publisher, but I need to know the following before I can make up my mind on a purchase:

1) How many aircraft do not have cockpits? Is it just the bombers or some fighters as well? I understand if you're not allowed to post the exact list of planes, but I think a generic quantity isn't too much to ask.

2) What plans do you have for fixing this issue?

I'd be perfectly happy buying the game even if it only had 8 cockpits, just so long as a patch was promised. If it's only bombers & there's no patch then I might accept it (grudgingly), but if it's something like "all Axis planes have no cockpits and there likely won't be a patch" then I'm not buying. I know my single purchase isn't a big deal, but I have a feeling many others share my concerns. Seriously, cockpit skins are an integral part of flight simulators. It's as if Activision announced that some of then guns in their next Call of Duty game weren't going to have skins, just wireframes! I've been really looking forward to this game since i heard about it and I sure hope I'm wrong about this, because if not that's a huge disappointment.
