Displays critical engine metrics and maintenance alerts. 2. The Glareshield and Mode Control Panel (MCP)
The classic 777 cockpit featured five large LCD screens, pioneering the "glass cockpit" design that reduced pilot workload. While robust, this system has been completely modernized for the new generation.
Houses the radios (VHF, HF) and audio control panels for contacting air traffic control and company dispatch. 4. The Overhead Panel 777 cockpit 360 updated
The release of high-fidelity aircraft add-ons for platforms like and X-Plane 12 has driven massive demand for updated 360-degree references. Developers use these tools to build incredibly accurate 3D models.

The "updated" aspect refers specifically to three major changes:
Manages fuel pumps, cross-feed valves, and jettison systems. Houses the radios (VHF, HF) and audio control
As of early 2026, Boeing is testing cutting-edge digital solutions in flight decks to make aviation more sustainable and efficient. The company's ecoDemonstrator program, in collaboration with airlines like United, is evaluating modernized data communications systems that improve the flow of real-time information between the flight deck, air traffic control, and airline operation centers. Future 360° tours might not just show a static cockpit; they could simulate real-time data streaming across the screens, showcasing a live connection between the virtual cockpit and the global aviation network.
The best 360 tours allow you to click on a button (like the Fire Suppression handle) to pop up an explanatory text box detailing what that system does.
Positioned in the center, this screen displays real-time engine health statistics and lists system alert messages sorted by severity. The Glareshield and Mode Control Panel (MCP)
Located on the glare shield just below the windshield, the MCP is the heart of the autopilot system. The updated 360-degree view reveals the knobs and windows used to pre-select headings, altitudes, and airspeeds, highlighting how seamlessly the automation integrates with manual flight inputs. 4.
