Just downloaded Dash 8
The only view I can get from cockpit is full screen. Clicking full screen doesn't help.

Not sure what you mean by "full screen".

Try pressing your <S> key and/or your <W> key several times.

Welcome to the forums Rich! If I understand correctly you don't see cockpit at all? Confused

Right, all I get is the "full screen" view in front of the aircraft.

I unzipped the whole file into the "aircraft" sub folder, perhaps I did something wrong there?

It would help if you explained what you mean by "full screen" ... is it as VegasFlyer suggested that you don't see a cockpit (or panel) at all?

Is what you see in front of you just the runway?

Go into your '"aircraft" sub folder' find the Dash 8, open the Dash8 folder and find the Panel folder... tell us what's inside that folder.

AHA! There is no Panel folder in the Dash 8 100 Zip file I downloaded.
And yes, all I see is the runway.

Thanks for your help, I guess the Zip file is incomplete.

If there is no Sound folder either in the Dash 8 100 Zip file then you accidentally downloaded an AI aircraft.
