I liked the UAV Desert Hawk, flight simming suddenly looks like the game of the future.

Gotta love the throttles on the ceiling in the Catalina; I'm surprised it doesn't have a binnacle as well... happy.gif

I really like the Hustler and the B36.

Thanks for the link - nice site - yes I must say that the Hustler cockpit does look rather neat.

Also interesting to compare the prototype F-16 pit with the latest F-16 - what a contrast.

It took me a while to notice that it was a Lockheed Martin magazine/web site - lots of famous names gobbled up by them.

Dont think so Ian. I reckon you would have to divide the panel into subpanels for something like the B36. I was dissapointed with alphasims one. Thought it could have been done far better.
