I actually managed to fly the Stearman without a cockpit, but don't know how I did that :D

It's actually quite easy to use the keyboard (or the mouse) to shift your eyepoint up/down, fore/aft, so it's entirely possible to put your eyepoint just ahead of the prop in any of the aircraft... :Party:

True, but what I managed to do was to fly with no cockpit at all, as if I had pressed W in FS

I understant that you get the Stearman for free when you log in to LIVE the first time.Could it be that you had not signed in to Live, and thus had a Basic Stearman?(I can't reproduce as the first thing I did was sign in to LIVE)

I don't think so, the no-cockpit camera was enabled in a way that it became one of the selectable view angles. I use the Xbox controller, so if I just kept pressing Y, I could normally chose any of the regular views, but the one with no cockpit was available too, just before the normal cockpit one. But this just happened sometimes. I suspected that this view was only availabe on Stearman Landing Strip challenges, where the strip can be quite hard to see. In the Stearman Landing Challenge 3 this view was selectable for me, maybe you can try it out to confirm if that is the case

Gustavo, thanks for the tip.I will try it, and if available I will use to do some of those Maule challanges as well.

I noticed that I could switch to a no-cockpit view in the Stearman, but only during the landing challenges. Surprised me, as I was expecting a top down view when I pressed the button.Hook

Well now isn't that interesting, I had about given up on some of those Stearman landing challenges - may have to give another go now if I can do this.I am pretty sure some of those small grass and dirt runways, move around by themselves upon approach!
