I finally got a chance to try the new 3d cockpit interior and it is a very good start. It's pretty awkward trying to fly with the keyboard and pan the view with the mouse since I'm used to flying with the mouse. I did a lot of autopilot assist and it's very interesting. It does give you a much better feeling of being inside an aircraft. Portions of the scene that should be blocked out are blocked out. The only thing missing to make it completely realistic is a large individual in the right seat to totally block your view out there. I personally like having the view stay where you left it. Otherwise it's impossible to use the mouse to position the view and then flip to a different mode where you fly with the mouse (and still have the view wehre you left it.) Clicking the middle mouse button centers the view anyway so this shouldn't be too much of a problem, except for a few people who bought mice with only one or two buttons. That's like buying an outlet with only room for one prong. :-) Anyway, definitely some good stuff.
