I personally hate 3D cockpits as they seriously sap frame-rates... and before 
you say it, I do not plan to upgrade my computer just to fly those aircraft 
that only have 3D cockpits...

what really annoys me are those that have both, yet the 3D cockpit doesn't 
dissapear when the 2D panel is in view...

and don't ask me about the HUD... for some strange reason, toggling the HUD on 
drops my frame rate down from a comfortable 50fps to a slideshow of less than 
1fps... I certainly hope this has been fixed since 0.9.5 (can't upgrade as 
the debs you have on the site do not work for my Ubuntu installation and I 
can't get the prog to run when I've compiled from source, some segfault error 
every time...

(the next version of Ubuntu (in beta) has 0.9.8, but I do not plan to update 
until it (Ubuntu Breezy 5.10) gets a little more stable)
