Since flying the PMDG 737 I have really enjoyed the experience of flying this bird but, I still love flying the 747. So the question is:
Is it possible to fly 2 jets in one simpit? Not at the sametime of course. I thinking it can be possible. The 737 and 747 MIPS are almost the same. If you use a GoFlight MCP, its pretty much rigged to work with both jets. If I chose to use a 737 throttle quad, it can be programmed to run the 4 engine setup of a 747. The overhead panel though, maybe a little difficult.
I have envisioned that the simpit would have 2 over head panels. The 747 panel above the captains seat and the 737 panel above the flight officers seat.I had also envisioned that the simpit would significantly be wider than then the traditional cockpit. The overhead panels would some how be on a track that goes from right to left. So essentialy say, you want to fly the 737 but the panel is off to the right and you don't want to reach all the way over there to switch on stuff. So you could push the 747 panel off to the left a little bit so that you can drag over the 737 panel to the middle where an overhand panel would be. (You still with me? lol) Of course there would be alot of wires and stuff. Maybe make it to where if you wanted to fly one of the jets, you can unplug one of the overhead panels and plug in the one your gonna use.
I also thought about maybe instead of 2 panels, just have 1 panel that has all of the knobs switches and what have you one panel. Obviously the panel would pretty much span the length of the cockpit, but now you can fly both jets in one cock pit.
Your thoughts?
