Ok, this is for those that would rather see a screen shot than the
real thing. :-)
Here's a 60 second, 12Mb movie to watch:

Director's notes:
- The scene is the YF-23 flying between 64S and KSEA.
- The movie is .avi format and plays very nicely

The default C172 is 3d clickable, so is the P51d and the cub? Also
I think the C310 is too???
Wow, hold on now. Are you telling me I can click the buttons and roll
knobs in 3d view (not the panel, but the 3d cockpit itself) in Cessna
172 already??
Have to try it!

Also, try shift-G to raise the wheels.
