VC's fine for me. Only with some almost accurate gauges, but works fine with the switches. I just keep on adjusting the view back and forth but I switch to 2D when looking at the gauges.

why is there no mouse look view? as in IL2. I would think that would be the most requested feature!

I use FS2002 as trainer for RC Heli flying. Tower view is great, external view with the fixed option is also very suitable. When I tried to flew my first heli, the famous Schlueter Heli Baby ( 20 years ago ) there wasn't such a fine thing like FS, so it crashed :-(

Virtual Cockpit is good but you can't see all the gauges. I still use it though when flying something like a jet and not a civilian plane.

I like the ability to scroll about to view. I seem to do much better on my approaches in VC view than any other. In some planes, the instruments are not as sharp as in 2D; however, the ability to magnify the view remedies that situation.

I like virtual cockpit, because I need to read gauges and see what relation my aircraft is to the ground, and I like to sightsee. I think the most fun I've had so far is downloading planes from this site that are truly unique, and then flying them all over my home state of Michigan. This flight sim also gives evryone the chance to tour their favorite aircraft's interior and fly it unlike a museum piece, which you can only go and look at and dream about what it'd be like to fly it. I usually play combat flight sims, but that gets tiring trying not to get shot down. It's nice just to be able to fly without a bogey on yer six. Well, I hope evryone else enjoys this game as much as I do. Take It Easy All!

I reckon 3d view is the best as it gives great visibility around your plane which is great for spotting ai traffic. I got most of my ai from www.projectai.com which is easy to install. i also wrote my own ai flight plans for my home airport of cardiff international it only has 1 runway but is now very busy! another great plane spotter is the goodyear blimp! have good flights!!

I personally think mine would be the virtual, it adds realism to the game. However if the virtual cockpit gauges all would work it would be great. Most dont so I end up using both the 2d and virtual.

Hello,
I always use Virtual Cockpit (VC) at 0.25 ZOOM, to fly and land all my aircrafts. All the crafts in my Fleet have VC s...Don't know how I got 0.25 zoom, I think if you zoom OUT to 0.31 then save as DEFAULT FLIGHT, it will start you @ 0.25 ZOOM everytime.

You really need all the views to see what's happening, let's face it this is sim. I like the verts where all the buttons and interfaces work it makes it more fun, this also lets you look around the cabin to see the builder has hidden. But the kicker is seeing the plane fly from outside, you can't do this in a real plane...at least not with out a parachute...

I think that when the Jumbo or the boeing speeds down the runway in the dark its best to use the tower view because it look astoundingly real!!!!

I like the external view...the only problem is if your not on auto pilot..you have to switch back to the cockpit to check your HEADING, SPEED, and ALTITUDE. This information would be very helpfull if it was displayed at the bottom of the screen when your not on auto pilot and flying by the stick in the external view. I started playing flight sims when the F-19 came out (If anyone remembers it) and I can say that from the late 1980's to 2004 SIMS of all types are GREAT. So to the programers....Fix this problem I was speeking of...and keep up the GOOD WORK.

a good vc really gives realism that matches that of a real cockpit? im a visual details kind of person so enjoying this realism is a big part of gaming for me o.o as for the blurred gauges, zooming solves that problem. with practice one will eventually be able to read the gauges even at 0.5 zoom

If you have the right gear and the best graphics then the virtual cockpit view will look so real that you'll feel like the first time you ever saw one and thats how I feel.

I prefer Virtual Cockpit, I usually fly helicopters and since you don't have the sensation of motion in FS I have to be able to see more than just the 2-d version to know how the aircraft is acting especially when hovering.

How do you see a good attitude with the 3d view. When you look down to the guages it is hard to position the view in the same position to have the same attitude for VFR flying. (3D Head Tracking VR Googles would be great to save this problem) I am happy with the 2D View.

I think the VC graphics are great but when it boils down to manual flying (such as ils approaches) the 2D panel gives the best observation of instruments.

The Virtual View is the best one because you can see around in the plane and you can look at the inside of a plane.

I alos ned to see it in 2D view so I can see all the gauges and controls and switches. The 3D view while I would love to fly in 3D view, the 3D view just doesnt allow me to fly in 3D and see all of the gauges and controls in FS2002.

I feel that the Virtual cocpit view is the best; at 0.5 zoom one can easily see the vital gages. It is extremely usefull when flying jets because one can adjust the autopilot and get a better view for approaches. Also, in private/general aviation aircraft, during VFR flight, it is not vital to be able to see all the gages since most of them are designed for IFR flight. Overall the virtual cocpit gives the best view for any part of flying.

well, being a laptop user and not having much power on the graphic side, i have difficulty getting 1 frame rate every 5 seconds when in anyview apart from 2D! fortunatly everything runs smoothly in this panel but even if i had the choice, it would still be 2D because how else are you meant to see more then 2 guages at any one time???

the 2d cockpit is the best choice for takeoff and landing, because you can clearly see all the gauges.
during the flight i enjoy the view and have that great realistic feeling by using the virtual cockpit.

Check your poll results page a "cockipt" sounds like something a doc should remove! We all do those...no offence, just funnin'.

I want a legible virtual cockpit so I can look around like I could in reality. In FS9 I want to find my way VFR or IFR so I want proper instruments a map and/or a readable GPS. For longer trips I won't use any thing without an autopilot. I find very few planes that satisfy my need for accuracy.

I flew in reality many years ago...now for personal reasons I can do very little. Silly as it sounds I can travel again...in a good sim thanks to brilliant people who create these.
