Does mine.

Not upset, just going to wait to make sure game has a complete cockpit set and is supported with a patch if necessary. IL-2 has chosen a very competitive time to release a title. Not the the time to release something unfinished with a bunch of promises.

I hope this gets cleared up by 1C soon.

The game is Gold, which means it cannot be changed before launch. The only good solution would be for the devs to produce a patch with the cockpits in the meantime that would be available when the game launched.

Yup.

I've been lurking for quite some time now and recall seeing a post by Anton stating due to the cost of getting additional content out any patch would be released the same time as the DLC. That could be awhile. Longer than I care to wait.

If it turns out that 109 and 190s have a cockpit along with at least the higher profile planes then I'll pick it up. If not I'll be playing mini ninjas or something until it gets worked out.

Man, I preordered this and everything. I just can't see it being true. A huge dissappointment in my eyes. I'll still buy the game, but wow, big news.

Yeah that's why I never preorder anything. I've been burned before and I swear it'll never happen again. God do I hate being such a pessimist about things like this but $60 is a lot of money nowadays, at least for me.

True, pre-ordering a game is just setting yourself up to be disappointed. I normally wait until the review embargo is over and check out the forums to see what the people that have bought it say before making my final decision. The advantage of this is games normally drop £5-£10 after the first week of being on sale anyway.

Thankfully after playing the demo I knew I would not be buying until they patch the control sticks so I can swap them AND put the stall wind buffeting noise back in anyway.

Smoke me a kipper.......

I totally agree. Learned my lesson with Race Pro.

I'll be back for breakfast...

Huh? Race Pro is incredible. The only thing wrong with that game is having *me* behind the wheel. I get tired of games that are all eye candy and no substance. IL2 looks like it'll cover both bases very well IMO.

Sorry guys, there's nothing that's going to keep me from buying this game, much less some translated website's comments. Half the time they can't get the number of MP players right or even a launch date that's already been announced. I put very little stock in those places, their facts are too often rushed and not verified.

I read french. My take on the PREview

Campaign = Allied only
MP = ALL planes but, NO cockpit view on german planes

The guy played MP on Arcade only (could not do in realistic/sim) ... He played also the Bf-109 E3 in MP so i guess he tried to get cockpit and found it was not there (last part is speculating on what he tried/tested)

So, my interpretation is indeed NO cockpit view for german planes

Mind you it says PREview ... so i don't know what build he was playing!? (could the NO cockpit view be info he got from 505 ... or just his impression from a preview build???)

There is still hope but not much imo (like <2%)
