VC viewing when having a cockpit?

[miloguy]

hi guys ,
just wondering for those with a 737 or similar full cockpit, do you still use
vc cockpits in fsx/p3d ?
can you have every button that works on a plan in fsx ie like in pmdg's 737/777's ??

Hi miloguy,

I would say the vast majority with full cockpits don't use a VC, because the panels, gauges and switches take its place. With regard to every switch operating as it does in PMDG,s 737 NG, that would depend on the builder, many of the guys here have managed to do that; personally I think my cockpit is about 85% operational. Having said that it's sufficient for a VERY realistic simulation. Of course not every system is fully modelled in FSX or P3D anyway, so implementing it can be difficult.

I'm sure the guys with more integration than mine, will chip in and tell you how far they've gone towards full simulation. 

Hope that helps.

Joe.
