FWIW

had another thought/suggestion: perhaps the developer could add "copilot" and "flight engineer options?

(1) this is one of the most impressive reviews I've ever read - really thorough and well written. Well done!!!! (also - hats off to the developer!!!) (2) You mention the enormous complexity at several points. This is an appealing challenge, but I have two questions: A. are there options to reduce/automate/simplify some of the functions and tasks. There are occasions, for example, when I might like to fly but I don't have time and/or patience to spend 20+ minutes getting the engines started. and B. How well does the integration work w/r/t the flight engineer tasks. For example, are you required to switch to FE view mode at critical points when you might otherwise really want/need to be viewing from the pilot's seat? I find, for example, that simply flying an accurate IFR hold pattern with an A/P is plenty to handle in a GA twin. Many thanks again! - Eric
