when you say perspective, a solid aircraft module would help you that allows realistic perspective from the pilot'S eyes, so to speak.

A light training aircraft is the Diamond Katana by digital Aviation, with very good viewing possibilities to the front and side, and said well-done VC.

Also recommended for VFR and good perspective from pilot'S seat: the SIAI Marchetti SF260 by RealAir that I own myself and wholeheartly can recommend. the VC is superior to many 2D cockpits in that the gauges are crystal-clear and the needles move totally smoothly.

Note that the SF260 does not even have a 2D cockpit.

Both have bubble-kind of canopies and are aircraft that are commonly used for VFR flights (the latter also for aerobatics). Both aircraft are available for FS9 and FSX.

If you are a serious simmer, pedals first and TrackIR second should be put onto your investement list.
