I use to fly real Cessna 172, so I'd thought I'd give X-Plane 9.7 (Complete DVD) a try. System Config: - 27-inch, Late 2012 iMac - (2560 x 1440) Display - OSX 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) - 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 - 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB - External DVD & backup - CH Products "Fighterstick" - To buy: Saitek Pedals - Pro Cessna Yoke - Throttle Quandrant - Cessna Trim Wheel _________________________ Settings: _________________________ Things I expected - but are missing. Tips appreciated. - Stock 3D cockpits are incomplete. - No checklists. - Map size restriction - can't find VOR, ADF, ILS, GPS data easily for longer flights. - Aircraft operating instructions. ( e.g.. take off speed V1, Vr etc.) - Pushback missing. - Charts missing. - Airport buildings missing. - Aircraft look blurry from outside view. - Cockpit instrument printing not clear I've seen YouTube videos with elaborate cockpit detail, airports, push carts etc. I must be missing something. Thx, PNut
