Hello,

I've installed the B767 and CRJ200 into my FSX. Unfortunately there isn't any virtual cockpit and the regular cockpit (shift+1) isn't working. Is there any other way to fly if these two isn't an available resource? Is there also anyway possible to install a virtual cockpit?

Antonio

Something may be misconfigured - both come with a 2D panel. Did you say yes to all of the security prompts when loading the gauges?

Cheers!

Yes I did. Is there a way where maybe I can re-install the plane? Is there also a way to get a virtual cockpit?

The only way to get a VC is to merge it into the model. I highly recommend the Level-D.

the Level-D? what does that mean? sorry I am really new here. I was just hired yesterday. I was really expecting to get into the CRJ. I am not sure why I jump straight in to the 767. Is there a way where I can get the VC in CRJ's and 767 as well?

The Level-D is a payware 763. It's a top of the line aircraft and far better than the one available here. Here's what it looks like: http://www.deltava.org/thread.do?id=0x1a6b7

It's an almost full model of the real 763. For being hired, it's based on program numbers. You can transfer to the CRJ program by completing five flights in the 767 and then taking the CRJ F/O exam and passing the check ride (CR).

Antonio - the VC cockpit for any plane is part of the actual model. In order to have a VC, you need to either purchase a payware plane that has it - or be a modeler who can program it. Merging panels with different planes is a process where you can take a 3/2d cockpit from one aircraft and "use" it in the plane you want to fly.

There are many resources online to how this is done.

http://fsdownload.com/modules.php?name=News&file=categories&op=newindex&catid=14 for some cockpits, etc.

Here's an example of how to merge the default FSX 747 with the Posky 747 VC

Anyway - the CRJ program is a great program to start in. Jumping to an advanced payware plane may be a huge leap if you are just starting out.
