As Test Pilot describes, he has the capability to "look through the aircraft"!
Press V to toggle "visor" view simulation in VC mode. (Interesting effects if you have TrackIR.)
[Actually, if we could find a way of disabling HUD cancellation when panning, this could be simulated much better]                                 MartinS you must know :)
CameraMFD & NotesMFD enhance immersion and usability.
My Heathrow addon required for Heathrow Scenarios :)
Hope you enjoy the gear suspension - it gives some unpredictable effects at times! ( and was a nightmare to code ;)
Grateful thanks (really) to Kev Shanow for the original craft and PennyBlack for the super new skins, (working with a very difficult original mesh).
These skins are in the Textures/JMW/ directory. Just un-zip the one of your choice to Orbiter root directory.
Happy VTOL !!
