Haha I'd be more than willing to buy that. (along with EQnext's artbook)

T-Ray and art team, make it happen NAO!

Haha yeah, that would be really cool. I know for sure I would buy it.



I would love to see 3d cockpits in the game. It would add to the realism and would generally just be cool.

Looks nice. I reeeeeaaaaally hope I can disable it. Mandatory cockpit views are highly annoying. "Hey, look at these useless graphics blocking your vision!"

I missed that memo about rendered cockpits. Very cool indeed!

Non-optional 3d cockpits with some type of freelook/headtracking gets my vote. If you make cockpits optional nobody will use them, so why waste the development time on them?
IMO immersion goes up 10x when flying with head-tracking & free-look. It's an awesome sight to behold when you go inverted and can look up at the battle as you fly over it. It also feels more skillful to track an enemy with freelook and and bring your own aircraft to bearing using the 3D cockpit as the reference.

Awesome cockpit view! I'm never getting out of my Mossie again!

I doubt they'll let you disable it if they're making it at all. And that's how it should stay... it's not like you're sitting in some 180 degree glass dome when you're flying.

I would hope that the Lib and especially the fighter cockpits have better visibility though. Maybe sidestick controls with a semi-dome canopy. This would be perfect for the Gal.

I'd say "PUT ME IN THERE!" but wolves can't fly.


Flight controls weren't built to be paw friendly. It took me forever to figure out how to drive.

Because the future provides many improvements, but none in cameras or display technology.

No need. Choose yourself if you want it. I will always use them, because of immersion. And because I am that goddamn good that i dont need to see my enemys to kill them. :P
