I just ordered DC-6 and loaded it into FSX and noticed there is no 2d cockpit..just a VC cockpit...just want to know if I am an idiot for not reading about the program before buying it...does it say somewhere there is no 2d cockpit available for this program...if so then I am an idiot for buying it...never use the VC cockpit....anybody know the answer....is there a 2d cockpit available for this great flight sim addition??? thanks for any response

Quote does it say somewhere there is no 2d cockpit available for this program


No, but it doesn't say that it *is* available either. But the VC is explicitly mentioned - as is the norm pretty much these days.

JF have a 30 day no quibble refund policy, so if you don't like it, you can return it though

Hi Calspee
I share your frustration with the Virtual Cockpit issue. I got hold of a 2D panel for my DC- 6 , makes huge difference. I just downloaded the legendary Viscount - same problem. Virtually impossible to fly the Viscount in the virtual cockpit mode  (especially IF) - cockpit functionalities substandard. Aircraft sound pack and external view however is excellent.

Shocked Ummmm, well I don't experience any problems Flying in the VC Mode, but then I use TRACK IR5 , and that helps to navigate around all the Gauges and Instruments & switches - like being inside the real thing with TRACK IR5'.
 
but, thats just me, sure not everybody has a set up like i've got ! Embarrassed

I couldn't imagine to fly today with 2d cockpits. With the coolie hat of my stick I can look around and this gives an orientation of the room like no 2d cockpit ever could give. Why should instrument flight not be possible. That's rather a question of the gauges and sometimes programming of the autopilot. At least it's not difficult to find a 2d panel, but the other way round, from 2d to VC, is almost impossible.
