Well, I like how people are rollin out nice props and military planes for FSX (real good stuff!), and they have some nice airliners too, but one thing : I've noticed that alot of airliners that are being uploaded to the site don't have any VCs. i'm not trying to complain, but has anyone noticed that too? But seriously, i'm not complaining about it. Just pointing it out...

A VC takes quite some time. Yes, a nice one is always a pleasure to have, but think about this. I'm sure you've flown the Team KBT Super Hornet? Or one of Kirk's F-16's? The cockpit alone takes as much, if not more time than the rest of the plane. And FSX has brought in a new set of tools that people are getting used too. Give it more time. Soon enough people will be shooting out planes of iFly 747 quality (Or Kirk F-16/F-1/F-86 or Team KBT Hornet, or Dino's Tomcat. The list goes on and on) made for FSX, instead of just being a port from FS9

I run a Matrox 3 screen system - so without a VC an add-on is useless.  All I would ask is that upload libraries PLEASE identify the file as VC or no-VC.

Just like the other members already explained above, a VC is very difficult to model, and very few plane makers are willing to model them.
This is why you can find so many planes without VCs out there, it's easier to create than a full plane :)

If it doesn't have a VC, it's still suitable for AI.  ;D

Yep, I agree with everything in this post! I fly always with Track IR and a VC then is the only sensible thing. To bad for the good non-VC planes, though. Yes I understand its harder to create a VC.

Also making a distinction between the base plane and the repaints on the download pages is a wonderful idea! Like in FSX itself; you can choose if you want the repaints to show up.

yeah, non-VC planes are awesome, I have a ton of em, and I know how hard it is to model VCs (trust me, i've tried!) But at least 1 good VC plane every month would be awesome....I salute those designers out there if you do ;)
