Flying a circuit with the Virtual Cockpit

The virtual cockpit is ideal for visual flight conditions, where most of the time the pilot's head and attention is out of the cockpit. Hint

Zoom out to 0.5 zoom for a more realistic field of view and better sensation of speed.
Zoom back to 1.0 zoom for a better view on final approach
