September 4, 201312 yr I never liked the VC - the view is stuck in one place and looking around is a miserable experience - looking up at the upper panel you need to twist your head 90 degrees to look at the switches and knobs. Maybe it's me and I may not be doing something right, but I seriously miss the 2D panel view right now. I don't have any of the fancy trackIR or similar device. Is there a key combination to move the view point like we see in the videos? I looked around the documentation, found references to popup but these are just big squares appearing on the screen. Can we ask for the 2D panel back? is that an option? Any tips, info would be appreciated, Michel.
September 4, 201312 yr There wasn't a 2D panel included? Hmm.... Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
September 4, 201312 yr You can hold "space" on your keyboard and look around by moving your mouse. It's easy and smooth. Gabriel J. T. Rodrigues My mods in the library My photography (site updated!)

September 4, 201312 yr Commercial Member Maybe it's me and I may not be doing something right, but I seriously miss the 2D panel view right now. It is. Sorry to be blunt, but that's me. I used to be a huge anti-VC person, so I know what you're feeling. It's all about forcing yourself to get out of the bad habit of relying on the 2D panel. It's really a crutch that nobody who is reliant on 2D panels is willing to admit. I don't have any of the fancy trackIR or similar device. I don't either. Hold down the SPACEBAR and then move the mouse to look around easily. Can we ask for the 2D panel back? is that an option? No, and no. 2D is a thing of the past. Sorry. Kyle Rodgers
September 4, 201312 yr Also you can use the "A" key to switch between panel views quickly. Chuck Madsen
September 4, 201312 yr These guys are right. You'll get used to it. It may take a little while but it will eventually click and you will quickly grow to like it. It happened to me when I first switched over from 2d panels.
September 4, 201312 yr EZDOK is your answer. You can technically create any "2D-like" views you want. You can assign hot keys to those views for easy navigation between them too. Also looking around the cockpit is a breeze. Instead of the default SPACBAR+mouse (2-handed), with EZDOK it's hold MOUSE WHEEL + move mouse (1 handed)
