Have you considers interactive cockpits where we can move throttles, mixtures, flaps, undercarriage etc by touching them on the instrument panel itself as an alternative to the sliders?
I have just stumbled across another mobile sim who although cannot match AF2 for detail, do have this feature and I think it would be a great addition to AF2.
BTW. Decided to fly the 747 from Sacremento to Salt Lake City today. The out of zone was still quite good up until when I crossed the Nevada Arizona Border where there was a large blue band of up textured scenery and than the textures became so basic that you could not make out Salt Lake City. I would definitely recommend Salt Lake City or Las Vegas as future sceneries to develop as they are the perfect distance for the A320 or B737.
