Jaafit,

Is there any short cut to changing the airplane direction other than using the airplane spawn.
The way I am doing it I am going to edit function and zooming in on the airplane
spawn and then pressing the shift key and changing direction of airplane. This
method is very long winded compare to the G2 version.

In real world the pilot is usually in a fixed position and you move the airplane..G3 seems to have it the wrong way around (move the pilot and keep the airplane in a fixed position). Presently my feelings are that the G3 is not worth $180 upgrade...G2 is far user freindly to the Pilot. G3 seems to be designed more for the guy who like to create own airports/airplanes than the guy who has bought a simulator to improve his flying skills.
