Due to the slightly unorthodox build strategy of Psi (and even worse Psi+), it is not absolutely trivial to add these options when building it.

FlyJSim recently updated the amazing 732 TwinJet to a newer version which much improved sound, a great new pushback feature and what not… In the same process Jack also added a 3-D CIVA INS (requires a separate license).

Unfortunately it was only added to the right hand side of the cockpit, so it is not easily visible from the captain’s side when the throttles are advanced forward (see also this thread on the FlyJSim forums).
