Virtual Cockpits?

[Foofighter]

I've had FS2K4 for quite a while but have just started getting into it. I know this may be a stupid question, but whenever I switch to the virtual cockpits in any aircraft that I have downloaded the panels and cockpit interiors are missing :( . If anyone knows what I am doing wrong can you please help?

 

BTW, I unzip them into a temp folder and then move them into the FS9 aircraft directory. I all ways read the readme's that come with each a/c and if they require I copy the files where they belong (i.e. effects folder, etc.).

 

No problems with the stock a/c.

 

Thanks for any help!

Most freeware aircraft don't have Virtual Cockpits. Kirk Olsen's F-16 is a fine exception. You're not doing anything wrong, they're simply not there.

Thanks PG!

I really thought I had screwed something up.

 

Thanks again,

I often download aircraft purely on the quality of the VC. If it doesn't have one, or if its just a simple job, I can't enjoy flying the plane. Also, most aircraft designers that take the time to create an excellent VC have already created a great aircraft to go with it. You'll be hard pressed to find a terrible aircraft with an excellent panel.

Thanks,

I'm learning that... I d-loaded a bunch of a/c and ended up deleting most of them over the last few days. Only a few have VCs and they're the ones I kept. Going to go try to fly from KDCA to KMIA in real weather. I'm curious on how FS models severe weather.
