    Default Twin Piston

    I used to fly almost exclusively using the VC, but after getting PMGD's B1900C I am very impressed with the 2D cockpit, and now used it all the time. The Front view gives you what you need...straight ahead but also a little peek out the left-side window, just enough to see the runway when landing.

    Does anyone know of any TWIN PISTON with a 2D cockpit comparable with PMGD's?

    Don't know enough about PMGD B1900C to compare. But, if you like that panel, what is to prevent you from using it with other AC? There is nothing like flying with a familiar panel that you like and that works good. Makes simming more enjoyable.

    I use the same panel I like for prop, or turbo, 1 or 2 prop (makes no diff). And I use same panel for Mil Jets, 1 or 2 engine. I try the 'others' and will revert to my favorite one if I have any problem with them. The important issue is that the 'vital' gauges are working and are giving you the info you need to fly. That is what counts. If all else fails, you can always use the default panels. In past sims that is what I did. That way I was familiar with panel, and if AC was 'messed up' I could tell right away. Then 'fix' it, or go get another AC. I mean, you just can't improve much on the Baron panel, although they try, and it it's just a matter of deleteing, or renameing, of 'bad' panel, and copy the Baron (or Lear or C182 or B737) 'Panel' folder over and you're done. Go fly.
