Free-look in 1st person/cockpit view

So I did a chat with someone from EA asking them about a potential feature of the game, with the question being: will there be a free-look when in 1st person/cockpit view? For me, the question is all about game immersion and the static front-facing view we've all seen in the trailers leaves a little to be desired. They told me "because the game is unreleased and we haven't played it, I don't know the answer to your question." Fair enough.

I understand the ability to look left/right in a TIE fighter wouldn't be there because they only have a single window in the canopy, however in the X-Wing, the canopy is shaped more like a traditional aircraft and the ability to look out of your side windows would...it would just be amazing. Imagine cruising along in a SP mission where nothing has happened yet and you look to your left as you're passing a massive freighter AND THEN things hit the fan. In Battlefield and GTA 5 using the right stick to look left/right/up/down is easy and immersive. I just want to know if anyone has seen this ability in a trailer I haven't seen?
