-Almost all- COD cockpits are truly master artwork not yet surpassed in any sim or game. This is true even with the actual downgrade lighting from the original version, that give they more 3D look than the photorealistic original sensation. I don´t know only one cockpit in MFS -not even third party- that look so good and detailed even from close look as COD ones, and this is not only about having every gauge ( working or not, as we are talking about how it looks, not how it behaves ) or every screw in its place, but also the way this items are modeled and integrated in the whole image. The tricks they use to achieve this not only works, also works very well.
COD modelers can feel proud of his master artwork, and if I would be them I would be every day asking coders to fix the light again, so the amazing work can be enjoyed in all his glory XD

I hope they can maintain the actual level in all the new planes they are working on but I doubt there are a lot of third party outside capable of doing it.
