I can't see the wings from my VC.I was wondering if  the wings are visible from the cockpit in the real thing ?

 

Thanks

Definitely not. 

As you can see from the outside - the wing tips are pretty far back, and being able to see them from the flight-deck would be near impossible, you'd need to stick your head out of the window and even then you might not see them.

OK. Thanks !

But is it normal on the PMDG 777 to see nothing but the shadow of the aircraft on the ground and a floating cockpit? What I'm having trouble with is that when in cockpit view and I move towards the outside, I just see the shadow of the wing but no wing and if I move further just a floating flightdeck. I don't even see the reflection of the strobes on the ground from the cockpit. All this is not a problem with the NGX. Is there anything I should do? Thanks!
