Empty flight deck seats!

Because they would be an inconvenient waste of space, FPS, and development time. Not to mention the fact that they wouldn't look good at all. I don't want to look over to the right window watching for traffic and having it blocked by some chunky, ugly model and most people would agree.

Why is it that, on external view, there are two flight crew visible, but when I am in the cockpit, I am invisible and so is my First Officer?Cheers, R

Alex just about summed it up. Between the restrictions on textures, the restrictions on polygons, and the way that FSX/FS9 renders geometry in the cockpit, a pilot in the VC would end up being more of a distracting eyesore than and immersion-enhancing benefit.It would also block your view, so turning right would be a frustrating experience. Instead of gazing out the right window, you would be gazing into the left ear of your low poly, blurry textured, painful-to-look-at First Officer.....Best,Vin ScimonePMDGwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/priv/img/forum/sig_pmdg.jpg
