Me and my friends fly IL-2 online campaigns a lot and we fly with locked cockpits, no map icons and the AAA UI 1.1
We also have the mod that lets you look around at different planes after you have died or bailed out.
The other night one of us who had died was looking for the enemy planes and by looking at the map and matching it with the surroundings was able to match it with a grid reference and guide us onto the enemy.
It was quite cool, we had our on GCI. Given that he could still access the map and that there were NO ICONs there as a little bit of uncertainty but the result seemed quite realistic.
I wouldn't call this cheating as he could only get us to the general area not right on top of them.
The downside is for this someone has to die. I was wondering if a new playable slot could be created say control tower which someone could choose at the beginning and that person would be still able to have external views even though for active pilots teh cockpit is locked?
