>for me its a feature and not a bug! > D-NXKT I'm fine with having that [2D panel shown regardless of selected view] as an optional feature, but it shouldn't be the default because it doesn't reflect reality. The current menu switch to turn 2D panel on and off is NOT adequate, because I have to manually go into the menu every time I switch between cockpit and helicopter/chase views, which I do really, really often. I usually just tape "v" and "V" to switch views, and the 2D off/on needs to automatically switch when I do that (which it did in 2.6.0, so this is behavior current users will expect).
If you want to add a property to control display of 2D panels in non-cockpit views and have a menu item to control it, that's probably the best of both worlds, but it should default to "off". Note: I went silent for a few days because of a major hard disk crash that required a complete reinstallation. My computer is still not fully functional yet, and I'm going to be busy with my regular job for the next several days, so no Flightgear bulding or testing during that time.
