I had a group of 3 to head over to Juneau. I tossed them in the back and off we went. Weather was really crappy, but all went well.
BP;)
I payed more attention to the flying attitude on this flight. Here is what I found -
1. After takeoff, much like the real Cherokee 6 / Saratoga / Lance family, one cannot see forward. There is a whole bunch of engine and cowling out there! That is very realistic.
2. In straight and level, I could see out the front without a problem. All that can be seen of the cowling in S/L is the little hump in back of the prop.
3. When landing, all one has to do to get a fairly good view over the nose (on short final) is to raise the eyeview (ctrl+space). I could see ahead just until the flare, when you look out the side anyhow. I am not having a problem with this at all. However, I will say this - had I NOT raised the eyeview on final, I would have been forward blind much earlier than the flare. BP;)
