Yes, a lot of us have had the same.  I had a few good take-offs, but then also crashed a few times with the weird stall and wing-over.  It seems the speeds and trim are super-critical due to part of the flight model being missing. 
No problem with the mods but still trying to figure out which is the best.
Edit:  Just in!  Cpt Moustache has merged his mod with Duckworths, so that is the one to get.

A lot of aircraft have the parking brake in an inconvenient position, so it can be better to set a button for 'toggle parking brake'.
Other than this, you can either press the down arrow key to get a better view (up arrow to get back up again) or use the control views (ctrl+1, ctrl+2 etc.).  I can't remember which one, but it is good to have a look around using the control views anyway.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Yes, and this is an ongoing project with some excellent modders behind it - it is good now but should turn out to be absolutely superb.
The Beaver mod is excellent as well, with basically the renown GotFriends team behind it.

For me a plane that I can push the throttle for hours to the max in highest RPM without burning it, it is not fun even it flyies at the real one. Hope community tunes that.

I agree that it's more fun when engine management is critical, but I wouldn't say that when it's lacking it is no fun.

Hello,

I am not comfortable with the cockpit view because it is obstructed by the window frame. When I check RL cockpit pictures and videos, it seems to me that the central windows are wider than how they are represented in FS. What do you guys think?

How to hide the pilots yoke? I can see how to hide the copilot's but not the pilot's.

Edit: Found it, it's on the red sticker behind the yoke.

I always move my head to the right little.

Any one other than me having issues with the GPS retrofit? I can't seem to set V/S among while A/P is connected..? Could it be some kind on conflict with, for example, the WT3000?

Never mind. Downloaded the 530 mod and it seems to have sorted the issues.

Try it in VR.

I have seen the real cockpit a few times and it is cramped inside. you'd better not be claustrophobic. In VR it's that feeling as well (although i need to keep telling myself it's not real, it's just a simulator)
