Center Pillar

[pcubine 143]

It seems that the center pillar in the 2D panel is at an odd angle. It is almost vertical. I think it should slant towards the rear of the cockpit (I know this is a panel not a cockpit). I know the CS 752 slants to the rear from flying it. I am flying MD-11 right now and it slants rearward and looks more normal than the NGX does. I use both the 2D and VC for flight. I use the 2D for takeoffs and VC for everything else. Just a thought. Michael Cubine

It's almost always going to be that way with 2D panels to some degree, since they are effectively a compressed head on view with little or no attempt made at a parallax effect, although clearly you'd get more of a slant view in an MD-11, it being a much wider cockpit. But that's the kind of compromise you are going to get with a 2D panel, since it is of course 2D. Al
