Absolutely correct. The FLY!2 series had the right idea with 2d
cockpits but very realistic views... including dashboard, overhead,
floor, and sidewall controls. But the developers were cut loose over a
year ago, and with the sad passing of Richard Harvey a month or so ago,
that series is gone pretty much stagnant after Richard's last sofware
update in December.
