It's unbeliveble, everybody should try out this kit.2: From cold & dark to parked at destination with engines off and external power connected.3: I use them all :D4: Oh yes, thank you5: Actually no, can't say that :)Best regards Audun Sj Regards Audun Sjøen My sim screens
May 2, 200521 yr 1. Use the VC as close to 100% of the time as the VC functionality will allow me.2. Whole flight from startup to shutdown.3. Whatever is needed at that particular phase of flight in whatever conditions i'm flying in.4 & 5. Hmmm, looks like that is really one question :) I would say that there is definitely an interest in the VC. So as real as possible would be my vote - so far VCs run pretty decent on my machine. Can get a bit choppy with a heavy AI traffic load and some heavy cloud cover, but still perfectly flyable...I would think that as long as new prodcts continue to have the same VC / no VC options, i would think everyone would be happy!For the record - i am a VC "Convert". I had been using 2D panels since FS v4.0 (or what passed as a 2D panel at that time :) ). When the VCs debuted in MSFS with working guages (not clickable though), i was really not a very big fan of them. I found them difficult to use at first. However, i started using the VCs in Cruise on flights to just "look out the window". As time went on, and as my button mappings on my flight yoke "matured", i began using them more and more. And the VCs were getting better. So by the time FS2004 rolled around, a VC became a must, and now i won't even consider purchasing any add-on product that doesn't include one. Buzz Benz
