When you click on this location, the entire Autopilot Flight Control Panel
slides to the left so that it can be accessed from within the 2D panel
window as shown below:
Adjusting the view angle for 2D Panel Users:
Sim pilots who fly using the 2D panels lose the benefits of the over-the-
glareshield viewing that is possible in the Virtual Cockpit. This can at times
obscure the runway behind the flat plane of the 2D panel.
To minimize this impact, you can adjust the viewing angle while in the 2D
cockpit in order to mimic the over-the-glareshield view during takeoff and
landing.
To do this, use the default FSX events:
Pan view down: CTRL+Q
Pan view up:
CTRL+SHIFT+Q
Note that you have to hold the key combination for a moment in order to
see the movement.
If you map these key commands to buttons on your joystick, you have a
truly flexible interface for takeoff and landing!
Easy ways to boost FPS performance in the VC:
There are three easy ways to enhance FPS fluidity while in the VC:
1) Click the “hide overhead switches” button on the overhead panel.
(See page 0.00.54 for more information.)
2) Check the “Hide FO Displays in VC” option in the PMDG Options
