This just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser! I changed the title of this thread since it is obvious that it is I who is in error, not the cockpit model in FS2!
The N number of the 737 in the picture you quoted above is that of a United Airlines airplane. I decided to check airliners.net to see what UAL was doing with their cockpits. Unbelievably, there seems to be a range of possibilities within this one airline! Their early 737's seem to be set up the way you have it, the 300's and 500's seem to be set up the way my 727 picture above is oriented, and several of their 727's seem to be set up differently than either of these examples. It is amazing to me that there would be such non standardization in a large airline within different cockpits! At AA, whenever we got different models within a type, such as during the late 1970's when we bought a dozen or two 727's from the failing Braniff Airlines, we spent a lot of money making them identical to ours, and required differences training if our pilots would operate them prior to them being standardized.
UAL seems to have done things differently, at least from the evidence of airliners.net.
I guess you're never to old to learn something new!
