I was just about to start talking about the pilot's view from a glider cockpit... Of course since in a glider you sit way up front with no engine obstructing the view the ground is almost always clearly visible in your travel direction. And of course in a real powered aircraft you can't very well make the engine and fuselage transparent either, so if a Cessna is like this in real life I realize that this is what it will be if the simulation is any good too. I'll just have to nosedip now and then to see what is close on the ground. I gave up on the getting started doc when it clearly did not have correct instructions on the joystick configuration figuring it was all Linux stuff in there... Maybe I should start reading it again, but I don't really like all these linux commands inserted everywhere, which I cannot use on Windows.... I found this list, though, and my joystick problems were solved quite quickly. Thanks for that! :-) On the powered flight learning track.......
