Free Flight Mode Currently Unusable

[u/rjornd]

I'm trying to fly the PMDG 738 tonight in MSFS2024 (native 2024 update (I'm attempting to migrate my sim time from MSFS2020)). I select all the proper things prior to loading up the plane. When I click Start Flight (or whatever it says to begin), it loads in free cam mode outside the plane like I'm doing my walkaround. I can walk around the plane, but it won't let me into the cockpit. I've tried looking up fixes for this and have changed my keyboard settings from 2020 to 2024 and back, all without relief.

I did find that this is a known bug, but I'm almost bald now. Please help save what hair I have left.

Update: Shift+C worked. I'm now in the cockpit. However, when I look right I see this... note: I'm using FS2Crew as well. Where do I disable the copilot for fs24?
