Point is, if they add it, it needs to be non-optional. Otherwise remove it completely.

Its not about immersion.

Sorry what? That doesnt make any sense, if it wasnt about immersion, you would never have a modelled cockpit, because all the information it offers can also be transported by hud, and the cockpit obstructs part of the screen. Off course it is about immersion, just look at the posts arguing for cockpit views, immersion, or realism which is just another word for immersion here, is named as the reason why people want it.

Fine, have it, but let others who dislike it remove it.

You will be able to mouse look in the cockpit as well:

@mhigby Very nice... will you be able to look around in the cockpit or only forward?

@Miirdor You'll be able to look around pretty freely

[MrBloodworth]

Sweet.

Here is hoping the Gal has a glass bottom. Or at least a cam.

Bring on the TripleHead2Go!

also my opinion is kill the fucking cockpit view i dont care if you get a reduced FOV because of it, should be able to play without that ugly jizz on your screen.

I must say what is it with folks saying Aircraft is OP?

LOOK:

This:



VS

This:



Of course its OP thats what aircraft is for, the reaver was OP in PS1, and it will be in PS2. If its not then its a waste of time!

Now roll on the AA.

Sorry back on topic!

@CDLHamma it will always be on when you're in first-person. Third-person won't have any targeting and will be mostly for spatial awareness

So it's forced it appears.

As it should be. Thanks for getting the info!

Now on to the mouse look debate.

[lolroflroflcake]

I don't think there should be a debate about mouse look its pretty essential as I've said before. Plus both 3rd and 1st person both only allow you to look forward which makes for pretty lousy spatial awareness. The cockpit has a canopy in every case so why cant we use it?

<3 you, Higby. Great to hear.

[Mastachief]

first person cam mode should be a cert unlock in my opinion. No third person.

Should not be forced. Like someone mentioned earlier with the grass. Look if you're too stupid to turn off things that block your FOV then you deserved to be killed by those that do.

This is the reason 90% of you will be xp fodder and have been in PS1. You bitch, moan, complain about shit thats easily fixed by actually adapting to your enviroment, but instead go the route of "the dev team needs to change this".

If your fodder in an airplane despite your best efforts then, its not because of something so insignificant as a cockpit. The slight reduction in the FOV will make zero difference simply because planes in a dog fight shoot past you they don't dance around in front of you. Really what difference does it make if someone disappears under your dash half a second earlier then they would have if it was the edge of your screen they were disappearing under. Its very little to none, so turn it off or leave it on but don't flame others for their personal choice. I for one think its super cool and would probably leave it on if we had the choice.
