Hi Hawkeye.

The X-Load FA-18D uses the VC from the Acceleration FA-18. So whatever is Possible in that, is also possible in X-Load.

There are only four 2D panels, but none are of the cockpit. They are as follows:

Main Panel (HUD) - SHIFT+1
Animations Control Panel - SHIFT+2
Load Control Panel - SHIFT+3
GPS - SHIFT+4

The Load Control Panel is used for adding ordinance- AIM9, AIM7, Mk84 and Fuel Tanks. None of these can be dropped or jettisoned using the buttons in the VC.

I hope this helps.
