Neither of them do that stock. There are many payware and freeware addons for FS which have those qualities. Dunno about X-Plane, but I doubt it.

The PMDG 1900 is part of their "express" range which means they use the beachcraft panel for it. If you want full panels,switches,electronics etc. You need to look at their 737's and upcoming 744. Also Flight1 have a really nice 767,722 and ATR72-500

Of course not to mention the RFP742 which is the best of all imho because iit's the classic with all it's steam gauges and switches.

Personally I find all the glass cockpits boring and prefer steam gagued aircraft and CIVA INS for nav, more rewarding and fun. Any monkey can fly a route using GPS or a FMC.

Incorrect, X-Plane does that stock.

That's what I thought according to the patch readme u attached. I guess I'll try X plane, but I can't find any cockpit views to see how good they look compared to FS4.

I think cockpits in MSFS look prettier. That's been the rule, MSFS has the eye candy, and X-Plane has the super realistic systems modeling and aerodynamics.

thx for the input, with a base such as Xplane, I believe it's just a question of time.

Gotta confess ... not being a pilot, just can't achieve immersion into X-Plane. Got 20% of my hard drive back by deleting 17 gigs of X-Plane. Different strokes for different folks. I prefer the eye candy of MSFS 2004 and IL-2.
