I must say, Fly! has fairly good cockpits...They are much more interactive, are bigger, and you scroll around them...They have GPS and full instrumentation. You also have the choice to start the aircraft and do other routines if you want.
To put it clearly, I think they are better than MSFS.
As Fly II is out in the US I think, it may be worth trying to get hold of it, as it's bound to be an improvement on this...
If you are in the UK, Fly! (the original) can be found for about a tenner, or if you are lucky a fiver
Good luck,
Regards
