So far, I don't think anyone has seen a screenshot showing a cockpit view. So far, I don't think anyone has read anything confirming this game will have a cockpit view. Thought I'd make this poll so those of us who are really interested in the game can voice our opinions of whether we want a flying game with or completely without a cockpit view. I hope the devs have the smarts to read this section.

Question:
Do you want H.A.W.X. to have a cockpit view?

Choices:
Yes
No

Question:
If H.A.W.X. were to have a cockpit view, would you want the instruments to work, and be clearly visible?

Choices:
Yes
No

Question:
If H.A.W.X. were to have a cockpit view, would you want your character to be able to look around the cockpit like a pilot would be able to?

Choices:
Yes
No

Question:
This will never happen, but....If H.A.W.X. had a cockpit view, would you want to be able to customize the flat screen instrument displays?
Example....F22 Raptor, the instrument displays can be customized, and moved around to the pilots preferences.

Choices:
Yes
No

Question:
If H.A.W.X. DOES NOT have a cockpit view, will YOU still buy the game?

Choices:
Yes
No

 

I voted exactly like the person before me.

I tolerate Ace Combat because of the Cockpit camera.

If HAWX fails to give me this view, I will not be buying it.

I'd be three copies of this game if the game doesn't include cockpits and allows me to fly a winged-pink-unicorn.

From the magazine article mentioned elsewhere:

Translation of interest:

"50 to 80 types of planes made realistic outside, some of them having realistic cockpits, other generic"

That's a step in the right direction. Now, I hope it's a cockpit we can look around and use, not just a small fixed section of instrument panel in front of you.
(always ask for more LOL)

With that many aircraft, I can understand them not all being perfect representations. Surely the "main" ones will be well modeled. I hope that includes the A-10.

If that is true, then obviously the Rafale M would have its own cockpit. Just watch the teaser trailer. The A-10 is unique, so it must get special treatment.

Yes to everything except the last option, to which I said No.

I said yes to all

"Question:

Why will that never happen? Jane's F/A-18 had that feature and that game was released how many years ago?

Would be a little clumsy setting that up with a controller, but I guess it could be done. Doubt it will though. You can do that in Enemy Engaged 2 as well, but I don't end up messing with it much. No big deal to me if (when) that isn't in the game.

Yeah, I guess I was figuring it would be implemented on the PC, but it would be awkward on a console...

OGF had a similar option to toggle on and off a moving map display and RWR. These were generic to several cockpits, but also provided additional information. Though, in most cockpits, you can get by with just the RWR.

Something like that should work fine.

I think cockpit is important
why??because all of the important data we need to control/combat is displayed on the MFDs or HUD

weapon/fuel/chaff store??check MFD
basic flight imformation???HUD
SA(Situation Awareness)?MFD
(SA means how a pilot knows about the 360 situation around his/her plane,including enemy fighters/SAMs,etc)
especially,the fifth gen. fighters(F-22/TYPHOON/Rafale,etc),a MFD can display the SA around the plane very clearly,we really don't need to stay outside the plane.

even during the cannon fight,a HUD can really help me a lot
during a landing,inside the cockpit can control much better than outdide

so,a cockpit is too important for me.

Second,maybe Ubi team should play EF2000 or F-22 LIGHTING 3,these two games gave some realistic,but made much more easier for players to play.
theses two games also have very good ratings
EF2000:

F-22 LIGHTING 3:
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/f22lightning3/index.html?tag=result;title;0

btw,I agree that not all of the airplanes in this game need the cockpit view
for example,F-22's MFD can show the data we need very clearly,but A-10~~~~~~

Only 5 days till Ubidays, so hopefully we'll get some more info then. And, whoever thought of that name, ubidays, probably needs to be taken out back and shot. Maybe it sounds better in French. Hmmm..maybe it's oobbee-days. I always think of ubi as: you bee eye. Whatever.

They must have a cockpit view. I will not buy hawx if they only have 3d person views...

No cockpit view = no money for UBI.
