My default start has always been the 2D, but I make a habit of cycling through to do a virtual preflight walkaround. That also lets any gauges that need to be initialized get started.For those aircraft that requires gauge loading, I'll cycle through all the views before startup. Most of the time I cycle to the VC.
I've never read the thing cover to cover. I just open it up when I have a wuestion and read through the relevant section.Got the program. Wow, the manual is 99 pages so it will take me a while. But based on what you said I think it will do what I want.
Strictly VC. I actually delete the 2D panels, just wasted load time.:salute:
