A couple of points:
A 3D view would be useful at the planning stage at first but once you have been to a location several times it would be of little value. We all know that the time you really need the HORG is when you are re-routed from the original plan to a rig or platform that you have never been to before.
The oil companies would go balistic if they thought there were nice 3D planning facilities available for any terrorist nutters out there. They are very sensitive about pilots taking unapproved photographs as it is.
A decent represetation of the rig layout with a good orientation is all that should be required IMHO.
