[Joop Arens]

Sir: We have just purchased 2 copies of the carenado Baron B58 and installed.one wich is for my friend Harold Oduber, a very keen flyer of the real Baron ( + 6000 hrs ) but there is a problem gething the 2d cocpit to show ( full instruments ), VC with F9 no problem, F11 will show outside view and f12 Up-down, but F10 no cockpit view.My friend Harold is a parkinson patient so when I'm here in Aruba on vacation I try to help him.Can you help us please, I have trying to get support from carenado and Sim Market but no joy.Your help would be much appreciated.thank you.Joop ArensIVAO 140457[email protected]

Actually the Carenado B58 does not have a 2D panel, only a VC. So you won't be able to do any 2D flying, just VC.There are 3 2D items which you can bring up by pressing Shift+1 for GPS, Shift+2 I believe brings up the .pdf manual, and Shift+3 controls the static elements. So, the only 2D cockpit gauge you can see will be the GPS. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the prompt reply dmbusmc. I think it's crazy that a pruduct is being sold tha'ts not complete, I have been flying for quite some time niow, but have never encountered an aircraft with out a 2d panel.All aircraft in FSX have a 2d panel and a VC panel which you can activate resp F9 and F10 so why not the Carenado Baron, is this a error in the programming??and if so than I don't think this product should sold or Carenado should warn all clients of a fault in the product. Kind regardsJoop ArensHarold Oduber

Actually more and more developers are starting to not implement or fully implement 2D panels anymore. Call it a sign of the times. Not sure if they feel most simmers nowadays have machines capable of running their Virtual cockpits they work so hard to generate or that 2D panels just seems so dated on modern machines. I feel your pain as sometimes I prefer a 2D panel when there is alot going on and need to scan/check/click fairly quick.
