Real quick to being offset in the cockpit, you may just want to recenter the Quest when you go to the cockpit view. It's default position should be more or less where the pilots head would be.
To everything else, yes I definitely agree. A lot of what you see is because I'm just a poor single developer! Now that you guys are supporting me so much though, I can start to seriously look at some better planes, cockpits, and a flight model to support take off and landing.
