Hello Alll,
I downloaded a few aircraft from this site, but there is one problem. When I downloaded a Boeing 737-400 Bulgaria Air(for example) it shows the normal panel of the default 737,but there isn't any virtual cockpit. Thats whats bothering me so much!!! The virtual cockpit works on only ONE aircraft. The rest just show whats in front of me with no panel,istruments or anything. There is also one more problem. Some aircraft like the CRJ-200, say that they have a panel. but it shows the Lear 45(default) panel,again with no virtual cockpit!!!!!!! What should I do??????????? I really really need an answer. I AM DESPARATE!!!!!!!

Not all addon aircraft come with virtual cockpits. You would have to download an aircraft that says that it has a VC in the description, or contains a VC section in its panel.cfg.
Related to this, it is not possible to put a VC in an aircraft that does not have one.

Many add-on aircraft that come out of someone's love for the hobby do not have a VC because to code one is a mammoth job. A VC has to have code in it that allows the viewpoint to be in thousands upon thousands of points. For one or two guys ginning up a model, that's a huge job. It could take months or even a year or more. Because there is no profit in it, a functioning VC in a homebuilt add-on is usually a rare bird...

This is nothing to worry about. The aircraft you've chosen were modelled without a VC.

While that's basically correct many people simply have no use for a VC. There are examples of freeware aircraft with all the bells & whistles including an excellent VC. The VC is modelled separately from the external model & involves a lot more work. Most freeware developers do it for their own satisfaction first & foremost so build their aircraft how they want them.
