I agree that VC looks a lot better than 2D. I am just saying that having to press a button to look around to scan some of my instruments is not my thing. As in real life I like to tilt my head down and scan them. So I decide to go with dual monitors. Yes it is a preference. But after 20 plus years of flying and only using flight sim for 4 or 5 years it is hard for me to view it thru VC. I was only trying to state that being a real life pilot has been the driving factor in my decision. Also my goal is to purchase all the radios and build a dash/panel and make a simulated 172. Possibly purchasing a projector to project it on a wall to give more of a life size view.

Thank You, I read that Twin Otter does not have 2d panels. I know most high end aircraft designers are leaving 2d panels out, but my sim set up is designed for a hands on cockpit with one display for 2d gauges and one large display for outside viewing. Being a real life pilot I prefer this set up. Just not a VC kinda guy. But it seems I will missing out on some great aircraft.

Does your twin otter come with 2D Panels as well as virtual cockpit? I am interested and purchasing both the scenery and plane. Thanks

I miss most events due because I work out of town and only home on weekends. Then the Sunday events are usually in the afternoon when I getting in my cross country time in the real thing. I would like to see an PP event every once in a while on a Sat or Sun night. Like the old saying, you can please some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time. I am sure someone will eventually come up with a new and exciting event that will bring pilots and controllers together for a night of fun. So don't give up on throwing out the ideas. See ya in the air, 773BA, Formaly 9188G, They went and replaced my favorite airplane.
