I recently installed a freeware airplane from PC Pilot and it has a 3D cockpit but not a 2D one. I would be interested to know how one goes about adding Icons to provide GPS, Map etc which does not appear to be possible. I have plenty of experience in adding them to 2D but none at all in 3D. I'm probably missing something!

To my knowledge Aldeeb the 3D cockpit or VC is an integral part of the model (.mdl file). I have read that you can edit the .mdl but personally have no experience in it. To open an .mdl file use Microsoft Word or an equivalent. 🍻

Tailhook, I think we got this forum covered pretty well; Seems like I've got most of the basic computer questions covered, and you've got most of the FS specific questions covered. (BTW, you have a really uncanny ability to nail down weird bugs in flight sim...) Cheers to us! 🍻

Thanks all, I think the "shift 1" etc is a good lead and will give it a whirl.
