Hi

Is there a 2D Captains forward cockpit view?  All I get is an outside forward view.  I find the 3D view difficult and unclear to read dials etc.

Thanks

Bob

Hi Mark

Thanks for your reply.

Then the 3D view is very very poor for the money, the dials are unreadable.  Not in the same league as PeEMDEEGEE NGX.  Had to write it like this as it would appear you are not permitted to mention other companies in this forum

Thanks

Bob

Bob is right that there are a few gauges that are impossible to read without TIR or ezdok which allow you to MOVE to where you can read them. But the VC view and scale looks exactly how it does in the real thing. The CS flightdeck is supremely realistic visually, and the downside of that is you can't simply pan your view from a stationary position and read every little digital dial (like the cabin pressure settings). In reality the pilot would lean over to read these, or more than likey the FO would set them.
I will admit that without EZDok I would find this very frustrating, and some of these gauges (I noted them in the wish list forum) could be made easier to read. But I can't agree that the 3D view is "very very poor for the money". This VC is just like sitting in the real cockpit.

Hi Gentlemen

My apologies to all, the views are indeed very good.  I had installed a new Nvidia driver and this had disrupted my settings at a time when I had just installed CS 737, which I am now delighted with. Yes, some reading is still a little difficult, particularly the Altitude Alert selector which is really small.

Thanks for your comments guys and once again -- sorry.

Best regards

Bob
