Default How do you find the limits of areas on a chart?

That's a good point. While you can pick out some landmarks on a sim
screen, it's very difficult to constantly rotate your view around and
get the spatial relationship that you can in real life.


A joystick with a POV hat-switch makes it pretty easy to look around.



It sure does, but I still don't get the spatial relationships I get in a
real cockpit. To be fair, I have one 21" monitor, not a sim-optimized
setup.
