Why no 2D Panel?

CriticalMass hit the nail on the head. I almost always fly with a 2d panel. Especially when practicing IFR. And when I do buy payware, I have to make my own 2d panel. I usually make the panel bitmap from a VC screen capture. I do not understand why it would be more costly to make a 2d gauge after the "developers" have already coded a 3d gauge.

Such things happen after 5+ years... This is an old thread. And you don't mention WHICH link, since there are no links in the few posts above.

 

I think it was the link in post #2. One of Dave Maltby's 2d panels.

Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!  ✈️

Adding a bit to my last message.

-------------|

 

There are 2 separate commands (keyboard assignments) for viewing ahead.

 

= "eyepoint Reset"

that does two things:It resets the view to 'forward'

but it also resets the eyepoint (seat position) and zoom level.

So if you had moved the eyepoint and changed zoom level in flight then using "" those things will now be reset,

and you will have to adjust your eyepoint and zoom level again.

 

A better () command to use is:

"Look Forward (3-D Cockpit)"

With that command the eyepoint or zoom level stay as they are. This command only resets the view to "Forward".

 

I have "Look Forward (3-D Cockpit)" assigned to a joystick button, and use it all the time.

 

I still have "eyepoint Reset" assigned to .

Comes in handy as well but I don't use it nearly as much.
