Why no 2D cockpit in CS F-18?

I have installed Weapon for FSX and found only one Captain Sim aircraft in the FSX list.  Interestingly, I have three CS aircraft listed in my Simobjects aircraft folder.  Oh well, any how, my only CS aircraft loads fine and I have an excellent HUD.  I thought I was to have a 2D cockpit, as well, but, alas none is there.  I looked in the view options drop-down menu and checked the 2D view, but still no cockpit.  Was I incorrect to expect to see a 2D cockpit view or is something not working correctly?  Please advise.                                                  BobK

Not sure what the third CS aircraft is. I suspect you might mean the modified Lear45 (mine is CS_FA-18), plus these two:
CS_intruders
CS_intruders_heavy

Those last two are AI aircraft only. You can see them by flying in different places and, I think, in different years. You encounter the different period AI aircraft by doing that. I have only flown around by adding Weapon to my Wings of Power II - Spitfire Mk IA and shooting AI aircraft down around local airports. I have also flown the F-4 at 12 o'clock.FLT that was also installed with Weapon for FSX.

As to the 2D hud - it is Weapon Control Panel opened using Shift+1, the HUD Glass opened using SHIFT+3 and the HUD itself using SHIFT+2.  Those are the default shortcuts for them in my FA-18, I'm not 100% sure about the Lear45.

In the Menu (ALT > View > Instruments) you should look for
Weapon Control Panel
HUD Glass
HUD
.

Thanks Mark, but I am not yet so worried about having a HUD in my 2D panel as I am worried that I do not even have a 2D panel at all. Any ideas about that?  Again, thanks for any help.         BobK

The only 2D panels in the CS FA-18 are the 3 that I already mentioned PLUS the default FS GPS.

[Window Titles]
Window00=Weapon Control Panel
Window01=HUD
Window02=HUD Glass
Window03=GPS

There is no 2D cockpit, like what you see in the default FS aircraft. Even the default Acceleration FA-18 doesn't have a 2D cockpit.

Thanks again,Mark.  I now understand.  I just got somewhat confused as the manual shows a picture of a 2D cockpit with special Weapon for FSX controls showing at the bottom. Again, thanks for the help and the quick response.                                                     BobK
