[Idea] Virtual instruments for standard flight model.

Me and some Pilots had a little discussion and we came to the conclusion that it would be nice that people who use the standard flight model, could have access to some of the virtual instruments you can turn on when you use the advanced flight model. To be precise you would only need two instruments, the Variometer and the Artifical Horizon. I think this would help to improve the quality of a lot of pilots. To be fair I dont really see why you cant see this information in SFM in the first place.

I have no clue about modding, but is it possible to make a small mod that people can turn the instruments on and off without enabling the AFM?

Would a HUD suffice ?

I support this idea. For me ~70% of my flying is reading instuments. Ignoring the importance of Instruments is the WORST thing you can do when you're flying (you're just a baboon in cockpit if you do this). Some of the cockpit models are lackluster when it comes to Instruments so this would be nice fix to the proplem.

Sorry for the late answer but the Flu had (and still kind of has) me in its grip.

When you enable the AFM you can turn the instruments on and off in the game options And you get hose in your HUD.



I think the most elegant solution would be the option to turn them on/off regardless of using the AFM.

No the Flight instruments and the Advanced flight model that go with it are nothing to do with paid elemnt of the DLC.

i.e. not new content - but functionality that is generic.

I'm sure Goodson could work out how to tweak this..



When he does - hopefully he'll push it out through the 3CB mod channel so we get another great useful 3CB mod out there - I think it's nuts this isn't standard ?
