I like 3D cockpits more also, BUT! If 2D cockpit is nice, not messed up and every button is recognisable, I like them more. In payware planes, they are expected (well for me anyway). I am learning making 3D cockpits, and I can tell you guys, It's really hard. And it's not beacouse Im just 13, but beacouse its really really REALLY hard! Cheers!
