I don't think the planes are 'fine' either.
I absolutely know that Aero is a brilliant sim but the cockpits are not near perfection just yet, unfortunately we can't operate essential pilot control functions such as functional, working magnetos, mixture controls and cowl flap operations with coughing engines and responsive exhaust gas, oil and cylinder head temperatures?
The promised manual control of navaids in the ultra glass cockpit jets is exceptionally welcome, it would be glorious if it meant a nod towards working CDUs and less reliance on the mobile app mode navigation set up. As mobile development appears to be in geological-time deep freeze, there is less need to retain the tiny phone screen friendly functionality in controlling sim' navigation. There is a risk that such a limited system could develop more and more convolution in an attempt to mimic real world capability in full size computers. GPS and FMC/CDU controls cover it all in real life and offer almost unlimited simulation potential, how about goodies such as leg altitude and speed inserts, range arcs and definable radial dme fixes?
The performance improvement of FS2 is a wonderful development. With better graphics output I hope the view out of the windows will soon show more realism with more uneven fog, convincing stratus cloud (99% of real bad weather) layers and some sort of lighting responsive water, even an interim FS (actually very nice) copy.
I have just bought Monterey, Miegs and Innsbruck sceneries, nice as they are they did not give me 1/10th the enjoyment that I got from the Dash 8 aeroplane. The view of the ground is now 'fine' to me!, remember we are simulating flights in aeroplanes. The vehicle we are virtually in is as much the experience as the passage over the ground.
