Well said BTW, count me in on those older eyes with lower res settings!

I've got to admit that I'm not much of a cockpit realism grognard myself. I liked the old easy to read and understand layout and can't stand the new KI and 190 layouts, especially in combat.

Since this is an interior cosmetic issue, what would be wrong with a "turn off realistic cockpits" setting just like we have the ability to turn off skins?

Seems to me that if you are willing to pay a monthly subscription for a game you very much enjoy, then you should fork over the $300-$400 it would cost to purchase a monitor capable of pushing that game at 1600x1200 resolution.

When you don't know the situation of others, that statement makes absolutely no sense.

$175.00 a year is a whole lot different than $300-$400 all at once, especially for someone who could be on a fixed income. Which I would bet we have a few here.

And, you don't know the space requirements of individual people. Where my computer is, I can't fit anything large than a 17" monitor. And if I push it to it's max resolution, my bi-focals aren't even enough to play the game.

Bah.. you miss the point entirely, you must be a young-un.  When you get to be over the hill like a lot of us you'll find the higher you set the rez the harder to make out what's on the screen.
 After I read your post I set my rez to 1280x1024, everything was far too small for me to see and the cockpits still looked the same, hard to make out.
In Air Warrior the cockpits were non-functional and all the guages, speed, alt etc., were across the bottom of your screen in nice bright white lettering on black. I'm not saying we need to go back to ancient ways but I think the "no realistic cockpit" option would be good. Even if it were the same guages but without the pseudo-glass covers and with contrasting bright white markings
