Wow, this video is quite impressive. There was another one made with FS9 for the previous version of the Track IR, impressive as well.
That's what I call realism, definitelly. You really have to look at the correct place for each single button or screen, you get the same vision constraints a the real pilot do, etc... AND you can put you head out of the window for taking of with planes such as Corsairs, Thunderbolts etc... 8)
But there again, as you stated, you need a full VC, not just a cockpit.... we're talking about 1% of the actual planes for FS9 (and 0% of Ito's planes :'( )
Yah, its really depressing, giving up that kind of expierience just cuz some modeller wants to save frame rates.
Maybe MS, can make 2 install versions, default (saved frame) virtual cockpits, and Detailed VCs. That would be pretty good.
The first for those with not-so great graphics capabilities, and the latter for those with kick-@$$ graphics capabilities.
