I knew I was flying over England...it's a strange feeling that there is a chance you get those spits taking off and chase you...we got intercepted twice already..and lost one JU88 and 1 escort while we where at it.
then we got close to the Factory and it was quiet till we came close and at the sudden we where surrounded by flak. I think I still got a picture of that I will post it as soon as I'm home.
but about virtual cockpit...if its not mentioned in the key assignments...maybe google will help you out?
