My pilot isn't textured like it is in my single player videos because some of my game settings are different when I play online. I play with cockpit detail turned OFF in graphic options, because I can't be bothered to manually switch off the cockpit view using the keyboard every time I enter a new vehicle in strat or DM. I did manage to "enhance" my explosions a little bit with LA off, I know it's not as good looking as LA on, but I don't play LA on in multiplayer most of the time because of the omega shake. In single player, I don't have to watch out for snipers (as much) or even be able to aim the best, so I play with cockpit detail ON because it looks better, and I want all my single player videos to look good on YouTube so some people who watch will be more likely to try the game.
Thinking2Hard has a different system, he can run with Z-Buffer ON, which allows him to have pilot textured, even with cockpit detail off, and not worry about disappearing reticle.
EDIT: Actually, after paying more attention to his videos, I saw Thinking2Hard's reticle disappearing too. Since I told him why it happens, he probably turned his Z buffer off.
