The plane is called "777 Captain." We don't need any of the animations in the cabin for a normal flight, since we are sitting in the captain's seat. I'm content with being able to open the door and see whatever the captain would see in the real 777 from the cockpit door.

My guess is they made the detailed cabin with animations for those who want a cabin and also for videos and marketing shots. It should not be that difficult for them to get rid of all the animations and knock down the polygon count for a cabin version that will work with the VC.

A detailed VC with working instruments and systems is essential for flight, while the cabin is eye candy.
