If they release cockpit clad planes now, they won't be able to announce a "new" DLC realistic later with cockpits.

I really think that MS Flight simulator 2004 also called 9/IX "A centennial of flight" is still the best civilian flight sim of the Microsoft series. I also have MS FSX but some of the physics seem to have been dumbed down in FS X, and i do not want to train avionics only.
With the lights enhancement pack FS 9/2004 looks nothing short of X, there are tons of planes to buy and free in excellent quality (and a lot more as well), together with nice sceneries worldwide, and as said before in the latter/newer FS X the flight model seems already on the way to the new "Flight".
When it comes to sheer realistic flying with gyroscopic forces, ground loops and bumpy rides in smaller planes, nothing beats "Rise of Flight", but have not tried Cliffs of Dover yet though.

Anyway to sell a virtual plane without cockpit .. what were they thinking ?

Greetings,
Catfish

Funny thing is when you go to the Facebook page, 2 out of 3 comments are about no cockpits or Track Ir and the other is that they like it so if only 1 in 3 like it, then it is good enough I guess.

Just on a lark I re-installed FSX and went to simviation for some freeware planes and all are without textures, just a dull gray model, haven't checked out the scenery I installed yet.

My guess is that there FS9 portovers and you've got DX10 preview checked in the FSX options.
Uncheck DX10 preview and the textures should appear.

Seems it is a fad that is quickly catching on...

World of Warplanes developer:
"players will be able to switch to a sniper mode that will in some way resemble the cockpit view, but it will be used to increase the accuracy of fire, not just to show how operating of the plane looks like from inside of the cabin."

"NOT JUST TO SHOW how operating the plane looks like"...

- Because they have something much BETTER than that!

- Simple "cockpit view", HA! - Why bother with such an arcane viewing option when you can have SNIPER MODE!
