Just saw this thread. While to say none are accurate in the strict sense is probably true, these tools seem to be designed for cinematic use, as the Chaseplane site says. That being said, the VC experience has been greatly enhanced for me, and the impression of realism at least has been much improved as well. If you're flying, say, a rattling old radial you can create the impression of engine shaking and vibrations in the 'pit. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this, even though it may not be 100% accurate. I'll never go back to the stock plain jane views. Also the level of camera controls cannot be equaled with the stock views. The external views seem more for movie and video application rather than flying your A/C. These external views can certainly enhance your FS experience, too, even if not 100% accurate. If you're going to make vids, you've gotta have one of them. Just my opinion. If you don't have either, I'd recommend going for Chaseplane. I have both and find that even though in "beta" it's already way ahead of Ezdok. Especially in terms of ease of use. The Ezdok update was a real disappointment for many. It became frustrating and unmanageable to me. Chaseplane seems slick and professional and much more user friendly by comparison. I'm using p3d v4.2. I don't have X-plane so I can't comment on it. Do your research and maybe give Chaseplane a go. It can enhance your experience quite a bit.
