April 19, 201214 yr I have it too. Allows me to fit in much better if I find myself in a big Mustang/Zero jamboree in multiflyer, and its good for just brutally powering around over a buzzing airfield melee. Not good for stunts at all, since none of the viewing angles are very helpful. Also, in fog, the lack of instruments to help orient yourself means you are pretty much an instant deader.

April 19, 201214 yr Looking fwd for the p-40, cockpitless or not! Hello And that is why MS have hit a home run with this title, Folks are just LOVING these aircraft. Really great to see all the joy these external view models bring to folk. 3rd party developers have been on the wrong track all these years, who would have thought it.
April 19, 201214 yr Author I don't think so... 3rd parties did/are doing a great job supporting FSX, Xplane, Prepar3d... Those of you lucky enough to have all of those simulator games together (and probably a few more...) have good resons to feel in the heavens... After all you can "jump" between them and get the most out of each. I am more than happy with FLIGHT, just as it is, and Condor for my virtual Soaring... 3rd party developers have been on the wrong track all these years, who would have thought it.

April 19, 201214 yr How's your performance with your new computer? Looking forward to the pictures ! Best regards. Luis Hot, humid Caribbean paradise!
April 19, 201214 yr I love the Zero too, and definitely will get the P-40. I try to ignore all the negativity. www.stratoart.com Fine Art by Dale Jackson "Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings..." High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
April 19, 201214 yr Author Excelent Luis :-) Everything running smooth as silk!!!! My GamerTag also changed today... "Von Queca" is the portuguese for "Von Fu@@", you know.... not really very nice... and I am no longer 15... You can now find me, and mi poor performance figures (although I lost most of the challenges I did before, but no problem...) under the gamertag "jcommFLIGHT" How's your performance with your new computer? Looking forward to the pictures ! Best regards.

April 19, 201214 yr How could possibly someone enjoy a cockpit less plane?. The more I try to understand it, the more pointless I see it. So you just see the plane from external view all the time ? seriously?. It's not negativity, it's simply I don't get the point. I am almost done with Flight, at least until Alaska comes out. I'll see if they release a plane with cockpit but if not, there is no way I'll buy it. Free mind, young attitude.

Looking fwd for the p-40, cockpitless or not! Windows 7 is great, you'll get used to it. And it's great to see someone having so much fun with Flight! Keep up the good spirit!

I have to agree, I don't understand, but "different strokes for different folks".

Those with other ways of looking at the issue are free to choose otherwise. It takes all kinds to make a world. EDIT: TracyQ beat me to it. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically......

April 19, 201214 yr How could possibly someone enjoy a cockpit less plane? In the same way someone could love doing an trans-atlantic flight with autopilot enabled. Something I would never find remotely interesting, yet you would never, ever catch me on the FSX forums asking why MS put the feature in. Aaron
