I think we should be closest to Fly than to MSFS in this regard. The cockpit should be exactly the way it is in the real thing, minus the yokes because they get in the way. This will make FlightGear a usual tool for cockpit familiarisation. Fly's implementation of a 3d cockpit is a little lacking in a key area. It isn't really 3d. FGFS's is and should be a real 3d cockpit that is totally mouse scrollable. It can still have number keys locked to "bookmark" view positions, but it should be free scrolling. It should also have every single button doing exactly what it does in the real thing. That's my opinion anyway, FWIW.
