I don’t even think it has to do with being old school. It’s a matter of esthetics. I’m “no-schoolâ€Â, and I prefer steam gauges all the way. And paper charts, E6B, stopwatch, slant alpha/uniform.SkyPilot_32908 wrote:Dogsbody55 wrote:It's about the ability of third party developers to manipulate the sim for their addons at the sim's core.

So it was a conscious decision made by LM, allowing only certain developers to the 'inner circle' ? Or are there no developers allowed at that level? That's pretty sad considering there is nothing better out there than A2A!!
Yes I have found one C-182 I would purchase for XP but it's G1000 based. YUCK! I'm sorry. Even in the real world, and I can say this because I worked at Rockwell-Collins (RC) for 20 yrs, it looks cheap. Too much like an Atari game! (I'm showing my age now, right?)
In fact, true story , when RC first developed an Electronic Flight Display they had to revise it to incorporate 'jitter' in the movement of the needles and gyros to mimic real instruments. The pilots complained about their 'too perfect' movement and considered them, and I quote, "too much like a video game."
I'm old school. Give me all those gauges all over the dash!

Glass is too much magenta line for my taste.
