I think that depends if M$ will release the appropriate SDK...Cheers,

I thought MS already did? The FSD Piper Navajo has clickable/mouse moveable switches/throttles.I sure hope they make it clickable!

agreed, I too am confused on this issue.DF and PMDG both have indicated that this cannot occur until the SDK release. Yet many payware have this already operational. The best one is the Flight1 meridian, all of it works.But here is the kicker, has anyone noticed that on the PMDG 1900 product that you can operation the radio selection panel in the VC ONLY but not in the 2d panel, seems backwards to me.Either way, I am just curious about this 'SDK release' argument. Maybe has somthing to do with if the payware group was on the beta test team or not??

Mike,The kind of clickable VC panel that I was talking about was different then say the F1 Meridian. In the Meridian (and the 737NG, B1900, and just about every other addon w/ VC) you can click on any of the gauges in 2D. Meaning, if you can manipulate it in the 2D panel and it's shown in the VC, you can still manipulate it.The kind that I was talking about including being able to grab-hold of say the throttles and move them in the VC via the mouse, or to be able to flip switches and see the switch move actually move.With the newest service release of the FSD Piper Navajo, you can now move the throttles and all the other switches present in the VC provided they aren't dummy switches (at least that's how I understand it). That means, in theory, we won't be able to have working APU switches, or pneumatic's or anything in the VC. Of course they'll still be there in the 2D panel and probably updated in the 3D, but not directly modifyable.
