I think you'd be surprised at just how many people out there fly primarily on external views - I for one rarely stay in a VC for much of a flight - you can't experience the wingtip / wing vortices on an F18 / Tonka / Typhoon or the lush smoke of a VC10's Conways etc etc etc from inside...
Landing something from the Tower View is also fun, if a little more fraught with danger than from the bang seat...
Screenies, especially when online would also bit a little boring!
I seem to be in a minority, but I bought it, and am enjoying it as much as any other addon I have. There's nothing more boring than flying from the VC in a straight line (and lets face it, slow turns and straight and level flight is about all you can do in a B-52!), so I much prefer to admire the exterior when flying from place to place, or just messing about going around in circles. Well worth the £8.something I paid for it.
I can understand that many out there regard a VC as a must have in today's addons, but a lot don't seem to understand that there are also many others who don't share their point of view. I can admire a good VC as much as anybody, especially when panning around it with TrackIR, but to say it's pointless releasing a product without a cockpit is clearly pretty narrow minded.
Ed I agree the 50 north 737's are very good and I have them likewise the Jetcity DC-9's but nowadays especially with FSX it is expected with payware release that it should be complete... FSX users are less patient than the FS9 users
