Because your window to the world is already restricted enough just because its on a monitor.

Like Tie Fighter.
Am I too believe they couldn't put a single pane of glass there and get rid of the spider web? Its ridiculous.
I've been disabling the cockpit view in every game I've played that allowed it(and most did) since this:
Now a game that is not a flight simulator is trying to act all hardcore, when its not been an issue for any other game for years, including proper flight sims, or its predecessor. And everyone else is defending it based on the immersive qualities of poor sci fi design.

Right. Disabling a cockpit view is too much of an advantage. But TrackIR is not. Completely illogical.
