2D or Virtual Cockpit

Just keep pressing S when you are in a plane and you will see the
difference! Basically the Virtual or 3D cockpit is more realistic, and you
can swing around and look at the inside. The 2D cockpit is more useful for
IFR flying when you need to concentrate on the instruments. On some monitors
the gauges will be clearer in 2D as well, but as the sims and the monitors
improve, the differences at the high end are getting less pronounced.
