[Usarka]

For all you plane buffs.

Note the little buttons at the bottom of the screen to move the camera around...

That's for the CD stacker

[Swoop]

Interesting to seey the seats are not made by Martin Baker...
With the amount of Airbus manufactured aircraft falling out of the sky, an A-380 might be able to take advantage of M.B. seats.



How come when I look straight down I can't see my feet?


EDIT: Any suggestions on what use the small room at the rear right is for? Toilet? Bunks?

[Mully]

That's the speedo

Nah, boost gauge - they've got blow-off valves too have you not heard them taking off?

Rooooooar - pshhhh

[Swoop]

Rooooooar - pshhhh
Sounds more like one crashing...

Cool, similar to the cockpit on my Tiger! :niceone:

[Hitcher]

I've seen Goldwings with more instrumentation.

Fergie 28 tractors have more instrumentation than the machine I fly....

Shoot em (aka FIRE!!)

[mynameis]

Nothing like the old bike cockpit aye :lol:

[mynameis]

But no iPod jack. Go figure.

No extra pillow on seats either :lol: You think you could see Finn? :laugh:

I like the picure of the craft taken from the camera mounted in the tail. That way the pilots can tell if they lose say a wing by just looking at a screen.

I don't think this is a real cockpit for two reasons:
1. It is a trainer / simulator cockpit since it has dual controls (for an instructor)
2. They forgot to put the clutch pedal in (only has accelerator and brake).

Dave.... pay attention! It's a bloody automatic! Sheesh!!

[mowgli]

The Copilot's head rest is faded already! I hope the wings weren't made by the same company. And what's with the sun shade? So clear you could even use it at night :P

[Big Dave]

whoda thunk it.

[Gremlin]

naw man... too many tried to chuck it into R for racing... its a slushbox only now :sunny:

[Swoop]

whoda thunk it.
This is an even scarier thing. Airbus has all of the manuals stored electronically...
Superb, when there is a power failure aboard.

It would be even worse if it ran on Windows...

Well I guess the batteries only have last a few minutes :shit:

Here's what Wingnuts do in their gargres:

It does. Windows AE (Aeroplane Edition). Apparently the only other feature they needed to add to the shutdown menu was:
1. Log off
2. Restart
3. Shutdown
4. Panic

Cool it's like two F-22s cockpit stuck side by side.


Edit: Actually I'll take that back. F-22's cockpit is way cooler

[Finn]

And given the recent problems with Airbus, I'm sure the pilots would like to have an ejector seat, just like the F-22.

[Swoop]

The helmet, though... A million (US) dollars per helmet! Geeze.:shit:
Edit: Oops, I've fucked up! NOT the F-22 but it is the F-35 helmet! No head-up-display in the F-35 so it's all in the lid.

Crikey!

Speaking of cockpits, between the old and new (F117 and F-35), the F-117's cockpit is so Intel 486 in comparison.

[Swoop]

the F-117's cockpit is so Intel 486 in comparison.
It has a digital speedo, engine AND air temperature gauge, and a fuel gauge. What else do I need?

[Clockwork]

What seems odd to me is that presumably after spending several years as a co-pilot and mastering flying the beast right-handed, you'ld get promoted to Captain and then have to learn how to fly the thing left-handed!

[Warr]
