Instrument Panel View

[Gwhaarmann]

While in Free Flight 737 I am having trouble keeping the 2D Instrument Panel View captured. I can bring it up using View,Inst Panel,Main. However as soon as I leave the cockpit to do something else and come back the 2D panel is gone, replaced with the 3D. Is there a way of keeping the 2D without going thru the above steps all the time.

Try shift + 1

In FSX, F9 is 3D panel, F10 is 2D panel, F11 is Locked Spot, and F12 is (supposedly) Top Down view.

If you're putting 2D in a window (question is 'WHY?') then the 'Shft+1' command will bring that window up (simular to calling upt the GPS in a window). I think F9 thru F11 is more simple. :-)

Thanks,
F10 did the trick for me.

Excellent. Enjoy your flying.

Hi,

It sounds like your question was answered satisfactorily but I thought you might consider this: Under Settings/Display /Customize/Aircraft you can make the 2D panel the default.

Whatever you prefer.
