Cockpit Views
Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2004 3:52 pm
One of the few things that bother me about EAW is the cockpit views.
You can't see much.
I know that most real aircraft have much better views (especially if you sit up straight). Fliers both on-screen and off need peripheral vision.
Looking at the views in BOB in the thread just posted by Col.Gibbon "What do we think of this sim?" I see much improved visibility. IL-2 also gives you the option of "sitting further back" for a slightly wider perspective.
Some "modded" EAW cockpits make the view even worse than the default, which probably used limited views to give better frame rate updates.
I fully realize there are great difficulties in changing anything in EAW (how well I know!).
But if there's a way---this would be a stunning add-on for your new "mods".
So I bring it up here, before raising the issue at a general forum.
