Hmm Why dose not surprise me , look at the worn off paint on the Captains joystick

Awesome simulator... Now is that running FSX or P3D??? (Joking)

It's starting to look less and less like a cockpit!

If you click and hold your mouse button down over the picture, you can get really dizzy

Seriously it has almost got to a stage were if you can use your PC sim (log book) as a knowledge base regard to training, your practically home and hosed as a pilot .

Next step pilots will just hook up their laptop to the cockpit and hit a few buttons to fly the plane...

That is literary what the 787 will do.

Until I fly a near close Simulator, or maybe let in the door on a real McCoy .. I still live with the Boeing and original theme ... If ya driving have the steering wheel in front!

[cowpatz]

Not much a real pilot would recognise in there!
You'd be at home if you drive a PC120 digger with those sticks.
Is XWB the new term for a plus sized lass?

I look through the cockpit window and see .. clouds, maybe FL32
I look at the copilot's seat and see... empty space
I look at the pilot's seat and see... empty space

Maybe I see... the future of aviation: optionally piloted aerial vehicles
