The beauty of Mike's plane is that it has no drag on frame-rates. They may be short on every little microsopic detail, but the look nice and fly well.

i think the Electra is now adopted British. We have Atlantic Airlines to thank for that.

Channel Express were using them well before Atlantic.

But no :tuttut:

The Electra is not British adopted or otherwise

I had reply from several aicraft designers and they all say it is too expensive to afford a personalized VC to male... so i'll guess i have to start developing that by myself... so... can anyone recommend me the appropiate programs to start building Virtual cockpits?? I plan to do the Electra and Viscount ones.

Thank you.

Hi Predator

Virtual cockpits are a part of the actual model

Not something that can be added on like a 2D panel not in FS9 and before at least.

The tools I'd suggest you look at are Gmax or FS Design Studio 3.

VC's can be separate models in FSX, but not before, as Garry says. And I would agree that to get an aircraft commercially developed would probably be outside the price range of just about any user! You'd almost certainly be well into the thousands for a proper model.
