Have you opened the "Learning Center" and looked at the instructions?

There's a menu option where you can select whether to start the sim in 2d panel or virtual cockpit.

Gee. Save your self some time. From the opening screen go to settings. Select Display. There is a check box there to select either 2d or 3d opening panel. typicall ES.

I think only by loading the flight, you can display the 2D panel, save your flight and next time it will show 2D panel.

Well - This is embarassing - I completely mised that one.

I also have to admit that now that you told me I REMEMBER seeing that very radio button you are talking about!

Typical of "torkermax" to fail noticing that I actually did provide the answer, after suggesting that there's a lot to learn in the "Learning Center."

Note also that I post here as a Moderator, not as a representative of ES...
