While you don’t sepcify what sim version you’re using, “wing view” can be of two ways.

If a model has a VC, what you see “out of the cockpit” (in 2D cockpit view) will be what has been modelled. (so long as you’ve ticked “see own plane” in flightsim preferences)

If a model does not have a VC, then the “wing views” are bitmaps called for by the panel.cfg.

Caveat: note that you can “override” what you see in the 2d cockpit view by adding bitmaps with the appropriate changes in the panel.cfg file.

Including, or not, a VC in the model does not imply that the design group or designer is “crap” or “lazy”. THere are some very fine models out there without a VC, and whose fans do not mind, or may not care for, a VC.
