Adding a virtual cockpit

[chicagoflyer]

Could anyone give me directions on how to add an existing virtual cockpit to a plane I downloaded? Thanks

Unfortunatly, you cannot add a virtual cockpit to a downloaded plane. That's because the virtual cockpit is part of the aicraft model, and as such it cannot be added or replaced, just as a panel or sound set.

#####, not what I wanted to hear. Being an absolute novice to designing add ons is it possible for me to edit the plane so it has the cockpit?

No, unless you can get the original designer file from the author. But, I wouldn't count on that.

The only other option to do so is by designing a complete new aircraft yourself. But being a novice, you may find that to be somewhat too much right now.

hmmmmmmm,Well I guess I have no options then. My question now is why dont designers use the existing VC's in their planes? The real 777 767 and 757 a pretty close cockpit so why not use it. Is it a copyright infringment to do that?

You simply can't do that either since you don't have source files for the original planes...
