Hi guys,
I downloaded this great Boeing 777-300 aircraft with virtual cabin.
I am trying to install the default 777-300 virtual cockpit to it,but without success.
Does anybody know how to install the default VC to downloaded aircrafts?
Cheers.

very simple answer: you cannot export or copy an aircraft's VC to another aircraft.

Sorry  :-/

can you import the virtual cabin textures to an aircraft with VC?

yeah but since the aircraft you are copying the textures to, does not have a virtual cabin MODELLED the textures won't do you any good.

You need a 3d model of some kind that has been designed in from the beginning. Exporting textures etc will not help you.

I imagine you are talking about the Meljet 777-300. I have the same airplane and there isn't a virtual cockpit. I don't know why the plane was made with a virtual cabin and not cockpit but that's the way it was created and you can't really change that without modeling the whole thing yourself. I guess maybe the author decided that a VC and cabin was too big a hit on FRs. I wish however he'd included a model with VC for those who can handle it.

It's still a cool airplane though.

Edit: Just thinking. It is possible to create a 2D virtual cockpit. That is done the way a lot of planes for FS2002 and earlier were designed (before the VC). Simply take a screen shot of the desired view direction and install that as a .bmp for that view in the panel.cfg. You won't be able to freely pan around but you won't feel like you are sitting out front in the air when in the cockpit. even better if you cold get some photos of a real 777-300 cockpit.

Yea,I made some wing views on an A319 by changing the view direction in the panel CFG,what you are talking aout is possible to do .
