1. Maybe 10% tops.2. Cruise only3. MCP (heading changes)4. Yes5. No, only because I don't rely on the VC for anything, but I know VC junkies prefer the VC to be complete as the 2D model.

never.

[Guest knocks]

As much as i can if the weather gets bad i have to switch to the 2d as my frame rates drop big time.

Why don't you just select the '2D cockpit view only'?All the best,Dave.'Three greens and soft landings'

Never when flying any airliner.Always when flying GA. Two very different experiences and two different needs.Mike

Never,Found it hard work in A320PIC - so have not really tried it in PMDG. Generally find it difficult to read the gauges in VC.

1) NO. In my opinion 3D cockpit is not realistic enough (at 1280x1024x32 AA=6x AF=8x), consequently I prefer to fly using 2D.Andreahttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpghttp://fs2crew.com/linepilot.jpg

99.9% of the time, I am in a 2D Only setup. Every once in a while, I will load an aircraft with a VC, but I only use it in cruise. I am not a fan of VCs in general.ChuckC-130H Flight EngineerDyess AFB, TXAthlon XP 2800+ | ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe | Antec TruePower 480 PS | 1.0 gig DDR PC2700 | WD 120 gig HD | WD 80 gig HD | Twin WD 160 gig SATA HDDs | SB Audigy 2 | ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128 | CH Products USB Yoke | CH Products USB Pedals | Nostromo n52 | Windows XP Pro SP2http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

Hi,Well I fly 100% of the time in VC, I love it everything works apart from the clock or tedious stuff that i have not used yet.I like the 3d factor the only thing I do not like is trying to position myself in the captains chair to get a perfct view of both the PFD ND and good outside view for say landings. I will use the 2d rarely now as i like to be able to get the 3d feel of the cockpit.and with active camera I have all my important areas of the cockpit and those wings views covered.From cntrl 1 to cntrl 0.1 being the main scan of instruments (captain) outside view pfd and nd, 2 being the mcp and du, 3 being overhead, 4 being the fmc, 5 the throttle quad and 6 the radios. 7-0 being the wing views.Well I hope someday I can run with higher fps but it is acceptable for now.Mark ;)http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpgBAV1095 Captain

Hi Johnny ;-) I used to be a "never" guy. But when established on AP, VNAV, LNAV, I have become a "now and then guy", especially with lotsa mountians around and AS2004 running with bad weather. Deepens the thrill.

1), 2): Rarely. Actually only for startup and taxi. The stutters suck too much in flight. The Flight1 Cessna 172 has quite a FPS and stutter friendly cockpit (no wonder because of the missing complexity). I use it 100% there.3) None because of the low update rate.5) Yes. Checked here.or: MS should finally implement its software the right way, so we don't need the next generation supercomputer to fly a Cessna.It looks like there is too much legacy code in FS9.Alex
