General things that i bugs me.

Just a few things I wish they would change.

The FOV while in a cockpit of an aircraft or car or some sort of contraption. ATM you cant see much when you are in the cockpit, but could it be changed, as soon as a player steps into a cockpit, the FOV zooms out? Make it some sort of option in the game, so some people can keep it the same, while us who like the feel of piloting inside the cockpit can see where we are goingaa bit better.

Also allow freelook in the cockpit so you can look directly up and down, these are handy during search missions and in a dog fight. Not only that, for the people that use joysticks and stuff while flying, if the player turns on freelook, then let them use the mouse to look around the cockpit while they control the plane or something with the joystick.

Now for the more complex bit. A Spot light from a helicopter that can move around, and doesnt use those funny light system that you currently use. The spot light could be controled by the co-pilot or gunner, whatever. It uses a similar targeting system to the gunner view in a chopper, you can zoom in and out.

The lighting system could be programed as like a negative shadow or something (if thats possible) and have a circle transparent model just above the surface of the ground. A player cant see the circle, but it emits a shadow, then make the shadow a negative so it lights up the ground and units around it.

I have no idea if any of this made sence, but its just an idea. But I really want the cockpit thing in if possible plz, 3rd person is good and all, but I do like the feeling of being in the chopper at times and being able to see in the cockpit properly without need to keep holding down my zoom out key, hehe

When you fly as a pilot press * on the numlock pad and you can use the mouse to look around both inside the cockpit and out the windows. But you cant look straight. But enough to cover what you need to see i would think.

There is the zoom out button too, but you have to keep it pressed... A toggle zoom-out button would be indeed nice

Well...

I use my "hat" on the joystick to look around when piloting.
