No cockpit view for german planes??? - Page 4

IF there is any truth about the rumor that german planes in MP have virtual cockpits only. I have been playing IL2 for ages, and I love the PC version to bits, but there is absolutly no chance for me personaly to enjoy a game where such an important feature is lacking.

I know there are two threads about this subject already, sorry for that, but I just wanted to make that clear. And I know a lot of people over here who think the same, no wonder they kept that a secret so far.

Very dissappointed,

Rob

no cockpit for bombers I seem to remember...

so IF there is no cockpits in multi player so be it...better luck next time....

perhaps when they said mp sim locked-in cockpit that includes virtual...

I still think 16 way mp online dogfights even with virtual cockpits will be Awesome...

100 posts already...sheeeshh...i wonder if ANY of these cockpit concerns will be mentioned in tonights webcast?

I think a big part of the success of IL2 in general is and was its atmosphere. How can you achieve that with a cockpit view that looks like I am glued to the window of an F16. Thats not IL2 as I know it. I have been collecting german aircraft parts and instruments for nearly 20 years. I love each and every one of these legendary planes. "Flying" them without cockpit view puts IL2 on par with all the wannabe arcade flight sims out there. Its just not the same. ARGH, even the thought makes me sick. I need to think about something else. I better get back to work.

Horrido!

Hmm this is disturbing. I only ever played IL2 1946 in Cockpit mode because it was the most emersive and fun. I have no trouble accepting the limitations of the console version that has been discussed so far but for me playing a realistic flight game without a cockpit is a total turnoff.

I was going to preorder but have held off because I suspected some disappointments would come up! Not to say I won't buy it period but I for one will be awaiting reviews before picking it up. Even if this turns out to be true, I'll probably buy it later on when its available pre-owned and cheap or something, then the issues won't bother me at all.

Well, that's it. If there isn't a definitive answer from Anton (by Saturday Aug 29) that either A: all/most fighters at least have some sort of cockpit or B: the situation will be corrected in a release patch, I will be heading down to GameStop and transferring my $5 preorder money to Call of Duty. There's no way I will be spending my very limited money (college is too expensive) on Il-2 without knowing for certain that I'll be getting a quality product. I'll also be encouraging the three friends of mine who preordered so that we could play as a flight do the same. Even if this all turns out to have been a mistake, it was still a MASSIVE fail in the PR department.
