Hi Mike! Glad that you were able to grab the Demo. I would suggest toning down some of the sliders in the settings menu - that should improve your performance.
As far as the 2-D cockpit, it's still there in the sim. I recommend reading the documentation, as there is a whole new camera system. When you are in the Virtual Cockpit, press the "A" key, and that will change views within views. Very nice!

Basically, the sim now screams for a PCIe card, with *at least* 256MB on the card. I'm now running an ATI Z1900 with 512 MB, and I love it!!
Well, generally they wouldn't include an aircraft that isn't certified by the FAA, plus I don't think there is any tilt-rotor flight model logic either. That's a whole new ballgame - maybe FX XI!
I was just glad to see them give the Bell 206 a make-over, and I wish that they had included it in the demo. Guess we all will have to wait until October! :)
