Not having a VC isn't really a fun killer for me. I like a good VC as well as the next guy but the main thing I look for in an airplane is the way it flies. I've seen some beautiful models with fully functioning VCs that fly like someone added an .air and .cfg file as an afterthought. Those aircraft sit in my hangar and never see the light of day after the first test flight.

I truely however do love a good VC and especially a full virtual cabin. On long flights it's fun putting the airplane on AP and wandering back to a seat and play passenger for a while.

Now if you want an airplane with a good VC and cabin try out the Flight 1 ATR. You can even go back and take a virtual dump in the flushing virtual toilet.  ;D

With Track IR, how do you get around the fact that to pan around the cockpit you have to look away from the monitor? Seems to me that would be a distraction rather than a benefit.

Now a three monitor setup is a different matter. That way you turn your head to see the other view but if I have to look to the right and then peer back to center I'm not sure if that would help or hinder and it would be especially hard on someone with glasses.
