3D spot views are now available in real aircraft with this FAA certified terrain based synthetic vision system: http://www.uasc.com/images/news/Vision-1_MFD_webster.jpgNow those of you who complain that spot views are not realistic are standing on softer ground. ;)See their press release here: http://www.uasc.com/marketing/newsdetail.asp?newsid=45

I don't know.....Do you think pilots will start complaining about blurred textures. Or maybe slow frame rates. :-lol http://members.shaw.ca/madamo/Avsim_sig_KP.jpg

I could have sworn I've seen an ad for that before in an EAA Sport Flying magazine. It may not have been the exact unit, but I know it was something like it.Scott

You may be thinking of the Sierra Flight Systems EFIS that's been appearing for over a year in that magazine http://www.sierraflightsystems.com/index1.htmOne difference, other than the apparent terrain resolution, is that Sierra is an experimental product. I'm sure price is another difference, as certification doesn't come cheap. :)
