March 4, 201313 yr As I look around the VC of many FSX planes, seems roughly 50% at best is functionally working. Is there any pay or free ware airliner plane that has every single button, switch, lever and knob working?
March 4, 201313 yr Commercial Member I think Leonardo Maddog is pretty complete as it has even circuit breakers working, though sure not 100%.
March 4, 201313 yr I'm sure you know this by now but PMDG is a sure bet for realism and systems modelling mixed with good graphics and performance.
March 4, 201313 yr I keep hearing about this dog that's mad...I hear it's good system-wise; but what about the graphics, is it quality like the Aerosoft Aibus320 of the PMDG 737, or is it old and kinda-poor quality graphics? --- How old is this add-on ?
March 5, 201313 yr Author I want a plane that uses all the buttons above the center guys head. Or like this on the ceiling and on the upper sides.
March 5, 201313 yr I believe most of those lights above the flight engineer's head are fuses. I am not aware of many FSX plane that lets you pull a fuse and disable a system. As far as complete planes tho, along with those mentioned above, the A2A 377 Stratocruiser is very complete too.

March 5, 201313 yr Author Fuses? That individually light up? I thought they were buttons. The 2nd pic sure looks like buttons.
March 5, 201313 yr Fuses? That individually light up? I thought they were buttons. The 2nd pic sure looks like buttons. Yup, those look to all be electrical fuses. OTOH, is that a DC-8 cockpit in the 2nd picture?

I believe it is quite dated. From screen shots, its visuals are not current, but it sure seems to possess excellent systems complexity!

March 5, 201313 yr I like this one too. Wow—phenomenal image! Digital flight management systems sure have condensed and simplified many of those analog systems!
March 5, 201313 yr You gotta love the circuit breakers. I once had an Instructor Pilot who would pull CBs while you were doing your pre-start checks and the silly look on his face would always give it away when you started your gripe. Next thing you know systems would magically start working again. Keith Guillory

Ohhhh, too bad..not my type of Aircraft, then. I love a well modeled a/c; however, good looks is very, very important...If not I would still be flying in FS 2002 ?
