The cockpits in World War 2 Fighters are a total joy to fly in. The cockpit is 3D and scrolls easily up and down - check out the P-51 Mustang cockpit - and the instruments are very readable and so well rendered I felt like polishing and dusting them.

You can even adjust your seating position up, down and forward/ back. This doesn't change your field of view but it does mean you can adjust the set so the instruments you want to see are right there in front of you.

A very user-friendly feature is the ability to turn the cockpit off, giving you an unobstructed field of view. You may want to display primary instruments as windows along the bottom of your screen. The sim can even remember your favourite settings!

The Me-262 cockpit has the most instrumentation due to the twin jet engines. Thankfully Janes decided not to model some of the more perverse aspects of these powerplants... like their tendency to catch on fire if you advanced the throttle too fast!

Which instruments do I need to look at?
