Great potential for this aircraft. However it is not possible to taxi on apron, autopilot is iffy at best and throttle gets stuck at 100% power. Would love to see this become a fleshed out freeware mod.

im with you.
I didnt really have an option with any other native cockpits being that it's a 4 engine bird. I cant wait until the Dash7 (SWS/Pilots) is released

Thank you - Its very nice, that you made a new version of it but I wish there would be a better fitting cockpit one day? À 747 cockpit scared me to use it eben that is better than nothing. But I remember that there were a lot of freeware cockpit designers in FS9.1 / FSX times , also programs , that alowed to alter cockpits - but I can imagine that its more complex in FS2020?

I suspect we'll have to wait a while before that sort of thing is available. In FSX (and previous iterations of MSFS) the main issue was for people to learn 3D modelling.
Now, the main issue is learning how to program the gauges and json layouts that propogate the systems into the aircraft. Those can take months of hard work, and for these freeware aircraft, the only templates available are from the Asobo/MS stable of aircraft already in use, and even those are limited to certain ones as others are locked - indeed I have around ten really good aircraft that are now useless after SU4-6 gradually broke more and more of the FSX style cockpits used and we ended up not even able to run the engines (Capt 22 DASH 8 or the Canadian Sim's CRJ 700for example).
The other issue seems to be that many makers of models are grouping together and, with the promise of money, these groups have broken apart (most notably Project Mega Pack) - it seems the community spirit is a little hurt at the moment.
After seeing Dave Garwood releasing a new aircraft, and with other collaborations growing in strength of numbers, things are finally starting to look up again!

Thanks for sharing with our community your effort! I m trying to learn a little about it. I like 787-800, the shorter 787 version on Asobo's 787X cockpit. The Cessna Caravan C208, the shorter version, on Asobo's Cessna C208b Grand Caravan cockpit. Rikoooo has those birds. Do you have discord, or a group? I love general and regional aviation, the base! Your bird is BEAUTIFULL, and WE can fly it on its own way on MSFS. Thank you!!! Stay passionate!
