Avro Vulcan for Microsoft Combat Fight Sim 2
Cockpit

The Vulcan landed on the tarmac with a crunch.

I'll have to have a word to the ground crew about that! This may be something to do with our using add-on runways.

The first walkaround didn't really impress. The level of detail in the modelling and the surface textures is about what I had expected and been quite happy with around 1999 - 2001, but for payware in 2003 ? The 2D instrument panel gauges are quite small - and while that may perhaps be realistic it's not terribly effective on a 17" monitor.

A little artistic license can add a lot to playability, or flyability.

There are the usual array of extra panels which fit nicely onto a second monitor :

Engine Panel
Throttle Panel
Radio Panel
and a Yoke.

These panels are selectable by the cockpit panel switches we have come to know and love in contemporary Microsoft Flight Sim aircraft.

The virtual cockpit gauges function, as I expect them to in 2003, but they are rather blurry and the clarity doesn't improve on zooming in.
