I hardly fly the nikki anymore but I did once or twice since the update just to have a look and I like the way they look but it is going to take a while to get used to locating each of them.

I think the new nikki has limited viewing capabilities.  You kinda have to look from the side to get the same views.

I like it to be honest. It now looks like a KI, which is another Japanese plane btw. :P

Niki has changed! chased one the other day while in a tempest, spiraling dive at 450 mph it flat ran away! don't think they were that fast, and if so I don't think it should out turn a tempy at those speeds!

not sure why you quoted me here but my comment was aimed at the appearance of the nikki not the abilities. I agree they have changed but I have not enough of an experience with them to tell how much the flight characteristics have changed and unless I read my own post wrong I didn't comment on it either way.

Just trying to hijack the thread from complaints about asthetics to a more meaningful discussion, THAT IS ALL  :aok

The new forward view in the niki is terrible. As soon as a plane pitchs up you completely lose sight of it. By appearances that new crossbar in the canopy is around 8 inches wide. :uhoh

I'm not a big fan of the gauges either but that might have more to do with being used to the old ones for so long. I'm not sure which set was more realistic and don't really care. I think the planes were set just fine before in the way of views and cockpit design and fear the more they tinker with them the more complaints they may receive. 

I know a lot of time and effort went into them and because of that I can understand how I would hate to see someone complaining about something I tried to do for them. It's one thing to give people what they want and it's another to force them to See things your way by changing what they were used to.

So far as i know the F6 has caused the most uproar for the people who liked to fly them. JUST CAN"T SEE like you once were able to. Causes me to be shot down by unknowns to often. What was taken away from us far out weighs what were were given on this particular model. If this is a prelude to the changes that may be made in all AH planes i fear there will be more complaints.

I'm with ya on the f6.I am all for fixing anything that takes away from the game,like not being able to see my six at all,but the instrument panel dose not take away from the game, it is just more like the Japanese birds panel was really like.I don't think we need to clog up HTC with stupid crying when their are so many other things to go over.
