Cockpit mode?

Game looks great. But how can I get inside the cockpit (simulation) view instead of outside (Game console) view??

Hit the Ctrl and V key at the same time. This will switch your view.

But even on cockpit view, i miss the cockpit! I really would like to see full cockpits, just like in Privateer. It felt more real that way.

... you can always make a paper-cutout of one and superimpose it over your screen

I'd say the cockpit is well done. You see that you're in a cockpit but nothing (no flickering lights) distracts you from the game.

I agree to that - I try to imagine that the HUD is not projected on the cockpit canopy but the helmet visor instead or somesuch.

Does anybody else have got the opinion that the struts are shaking or trembling too much? It may be ok if you are in Cruise Mode or maybe in a lane - but I find it very distracting sometimes...

Loved the paper cockpit idea. Hay, a new way for some game to make money and pay for his game.
