May 14, 200620 yr Author Well, here is my short review, noting that I am a GA driver and know nothing about the big iron, and these are only my first impressions based on a single flight. I also want to thank the authors very much for their hard work and I know they put a lot of heart into this. I am so happy that developers are finally putting VC's in their planes on a regular basis.At first glance, my first impression was that it looks very nice compared to other 737 cockpits I have flown which are the default and the 737 Experience. It looks a little newer, cleaner, and somewhat more detailed. But as I looked closer, it looks, shall we say, somewhat unfinished. I noticed a little flashing between the front and rear portions of the middle console. The textures in the VC are very rough, you can't read the text in them for the most part. The background of the Altimeter is for some reason stretched to an oval shape. Many of the gauges are not centered on their backgrounds. The gauges themselves look somewhat blurry. And the Fire warning light appears to be missing on the Pilot's side (I can see it on the FO's side).Finally, while many of the main gauges are clickable, many of the switches in the overhead and on the panel are not. Even if they don't do anything, I happen to like to have as many switches clickable as possible, for purposes of running through the checklists.But I believe many of these things, especially the textures, can be fixed in short order. I am not much of an artist myself, or I would take a stab at fixing many of the issues that I've described. Maybe I will anyway.As it is, it looks to me like an excellent start with room to grow.I'd like to thank the authors again,Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-) Tom Perry
