It's the best cockpit I've ever seen in a game. I would say it's as much a step above the CloD ones as the CloD ones are a step above the 1946 ones.

I did not mean functionality I meant quality. When I compare these to CloD I do not want to buy this.

Maybe I searched for wrong images.

Same is with DCS P-51 WIP. I would love to buy it but looking at cockpit WIP I will not be able to force myself flying it after CloD. But this may be just me.

-Almost all- COD cockpits are truly master artwork not yet surpassed in any sim or game. This is true even with the actual downgrade lighting from the original version, that give they more 3D look than the photorealistic original sensation. I don´t know only one cockpit in MFS -not even third party- that look so good and detailed even from close look as COD ones, and this is not only about having every gauge ( working or not, as we are talking about how it looks, not how it behaves ) or every screw in its place, but also the way this items are modeled and integrated in the whole image. The tricks they use to achieve this not only works, also works very well.
COD modelers can feel proud of his master artwork, and if I would be them I would be every day asking coders to fix the light again, so the amazing work can be enjoyed in all his glory XD

I hope they can maintain the actual level in all the new planes they are working on but I doubt there are a lot of third party outside capable of doing it.

well if anyone is interested in trying the second half of this film might be of some use?

(and the first half could be useful for a Welli )

Whilst waiting for CoD to be sorted I purchases the A2A Spitfire. It is an awesome cockpit with everything workable in it. It feels far more realistic.
I was hoping that this level of detail and realism could be put into CoD. Even if this cost hundreds to purchase, I think there is enough of us out there that could afford it and justify producing it.

I suppose it may be a preference thing for subtle details.

I have the A2A Accusim Spitfire and with the possible exception of lighting/shadows, I find the detail (visually) in the Accusim cockpits far outstrip the CloD ones. Especially at high resolutions. Looking around those cockpits with Track IR or an equivalent really is amazing. Screen shots do not do them justice.

Add to that the functionality of all those things, though, and it really 'takes off'.
