FSX Boeing 747-8i Delta Northwest with advanced VC by Alejandro Rojas Lucena and VC Textures Upgrade by Enrique Cornejo. This gives the b747 a payware Virtual Cockpit look! It even has a pilot jacket hanged in the rear of the cockpit (besides the right jumpseat). The panel.cfg and the aircraft.cfg have been assembled and edited by the Flightsim Workshop Team. Now you can pop up "My icons" window in the Virtual Cockpit to easily reach the following windows: GPS, avionics, map, ATC, Climb/Radio Altimeter/Spoiler switch, auto-break switch, throttle quadrant, clock, descentometer, kneeboard and overhead panel.

Few or none would have believed in that cold and gray February day of 1969 that decades would pass and the 747 would continue being a vital asset for the industry. As of 2012, 1,448 747s have been built, and around 3.5 billion people have experienced the delight of flying in it.

For example, a recent 747 has around 360 lights, gauges and switches, while the first models had almost 1,000!  Boeing points out that the 747 has flown almost 78 billion kilometers, equivalent to more that 100,000 round trips to the Moon.
