How close to "real" versions are those planes of example: Lockheed Constellation do they have most
features in Virtual Cockpit like real ones? or they are just like FSX planes where most of them are just
Model + badly simulated virtual cockpit?
Are those planes certified for training with prepar3d? for example Mooney Bravo..
what can you tell us about those planes?

Hi,
The first six aircraft on the list are from the original source that we received from Microsoft. The P-38 and Constellation were developed and provided by our friends at Just Flight. The Submersible was modeled in-house.
In terms of "certified for training", software alone cannot be certified/qualified by the FAA/CAA/JAA. Formal certification/qualification is achieved with a combination of hardware and software. The hardware needs to meet certain standards by these authorities in order to comply with the category of training device under a specific category. No software can be certified for training on its own. There are companies that we are working with that are currently undergoing certification/qualification using Prepar3D for various aircraft types.

First post, so I hope this is in the right area.
I've noticed the Constellation has a quirky side effect when throttling up. When on low idle, the lights in the cabin are dark. But when you throttle up, they turn on. Also, the red call sign with white letters behind the throttle quadrant loses its background and has a reflective, mirror-like look to it. Any ideas what could cause that to happen?
