*Real* flight simulators don't need anything  more than just simple controls and imagination...

Bah, humbug!

😆

It would be good if the screens can play movies in the cabin.

how do you get the cabin views

YES!!!  This Please?  I keep hitting an invisible wall, and yes, I’ve opened the cockpit door. 
TIA,

I never understood all this wasted attention to detail that 1% of the users will ever see, or care about. Same with airports developers who spend too much time on the interior.

It's a flight simulator. Why waste time on a cabin seat? Or a vending machine? It makes absolutely no sense to me except for those who enjoy showing off screenshots.  It's time wasted that could have been put elsewhere. 

This kind of thinking is why flight sims would never go to the next level. MSFS is more than a flight sim and be just a niche like the others.

Move the camera so that you can walk through the narrow "corridor" from the seat to the cabin. Some walls you can't clip through. So, basically just what you would have to do if you were walking towards the cabin from the cockpit in reality

Then, move yourself into a seat of your choice, once you're satisfied with your view, just hit ctrl  alt + 1, 2, whatever. 

Done.

I got a couple of thousand hours in MSFS alone, I have spent about 2 minutes total at most in the cabin or in airport terminals.

Well good for you Bob, welcome to the 1%. Your hours alone will not keep MSFS alive the old fashion way.

I have read your post about a half dozen times, and I still can't make any sense out of it. 😉

You cannot see the passenger cabin until you have installed the Enhanced version, which you can "buy" for no money at the in-game Marketplace.

Thank you. Yes I did purchase and install the enhanced version. I still have not been able to move past that invisible wall. I know it’s my issue and not a software or package issue. 

Thanks for the response.

Use the drone view, slow it to the minimum (1 or 2) and get inside (through the door or anywhere), move as you wish.

This one and the Fenix do it for me, imo the Fenix slightly has the edge in the cabin....just something about it. It might be the AO or something cant pinpoint it... It also probably has something to do with the wing being much more detailed on the Fenix, so when looking outside it looks better too.

Plus, it siginificantly adds to the immersion. 

I mean, I've certainly never felt any level of immersion in a desktop sim that compares to, say, a level D sim.  And when I look behind me in one of those, I don't see a cabin, I see an instructor station ;).

I get that the cinematic folks like the cabins, but I do wish they were optional.  I don't really need more performance, but I'd still rather not waste resources rendering things I'm dragging along with me but will never look at.
