Wow. Um...wow.
I haven't felt this way from flying for a long time... ♥ー♥
When custom engine sounds are implemented, I am going to shake the neighbourhood. :lol:
In my flights, I got an acceptable ~20 FPS in the VC with all the MFDs on, on my none-too-amazing 2.00 GHz 64-bit dual-core (with 32-bit Windows XP), Nvidia GeForce 6100 machine.
I did get the dreaded Orbiter freeze once, when I switched the RAMX to CUT when the throttle was still open and the main engines were running.
On my Japanese-locale computer, the fuel reserve screen has ¥ on it...I believe it's because it replaces backslashes. It would be nice if it weren't locale-dependent. Or even easier, don't use backslashes.
As Izack said, some of the switches should really be 2-position; for example, the visor should just have ON/OFF positions, no middle position.
Unless you plan to make it automatic...but I don't think that should be the case for any of the red switches on the centre console...
Speaking of, this might sound a bit odd, but could you make the visor extension/retraction animation slower? So you can look up and watch the view unfold. More dramatic that way. :lol:
Finally, I was messing around with Halcyon's checklist from before...only the ascent is there, and some wanted information is missing, most notably the table of takeoff performance for various loadouts...it should get more complicated as we get into using drop tanks and DARTS. There should be some section about cruising in case you're doing an off-plane launch and need to fly to your target inclination before blasting into orbit. Pitch values for certain times throughout the ascent would be nice. I'm not yet sure of the optimal ascent profile, but from following this, it shouldn't be hard. I started to do an orbiting checklist but decided to wait, since those features aren't implemented yet...

And yes, I know it will all be on the EFB, but still. ^^;
Keep it up, this is awesome. ;D
