I think I have lost the plot as to who had this thing now but can someone email me with the link to the VFR panel [email protected] guysRob

I can't find links to VFR panel in the forum, is it possible to have links to those fantastic landing views ? Or can someone email me the one which is in this thread ?It's been a while since I was looking for a good one, I think I found it ! :)My email : [email protected] in advance.Best regards,Guillaume

Please me too ! It looks FANTASTIC it really is well thought [email protected] a lot !

Bah! Me [email protected]

Me too! Please!Thanks!Regards :-waveCharly

Hi,If it's possible may i have a landing view [email protected] AVQ05www.aerovirtuel.com

OOPPPSSSS....forgot my email [email protected] in advanceRegards :-waveCharly

I'm going to have to come up with some sort of compromise for you all. This is a good, functional panel, but it is not representative of the real view during approach. The pilots raise their seats up quite high... in fact, so high, that the glareshield obscures the upper portion of the ADI! Please look at my new work, so you can understand what I mean:http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...rum=DCForumID33I hope I don't confuse you all...Sincerely,Phil Geddes

That's correct... I think this is a really important point. If real world pilots raise their seats and move them forward for landing, than the best sim pilots can do is have a view to use that imitates this. The problem with this, is that we sim pilots want to have all those instruments handy on approach. The real world pilot's view in the 57/67 doesn't allow him to see anything else but the g/s on te ADI. I would suggest that a sim-pilot might want to access "pop-up" instruments to simulate looking down at his panel on approach. Once finished referening the instrument, he can hide it... or "look up" so to speak.I know the procedure at many airlines is for the pnf to make speed/altitude calls on approach. Might this be so the p/f does not have to look down? Maybe a real-world pilot can comment on this? This debate will probably go on for the rest of time.Sincerely,Phil Geddes

Hi Phil,Point taken about the quick look at instruments.As to the speed/altitude calls maybe FDC can provide those for those who have FDC, or in my case those who have it and have yet to configure it :-lol

I concur!

Hi Phil can I please have your Landing wiew, it looks [email protected] very much.
