Hi,
I am not fully aware with such talk, so my answer could be out of your
target.
A cockpit must be close to the real one, instrument position, and
functionality ( i have read from Mr Martin Spott and Mr Vivian Meazza a
similar opinion ) .
The instruments must be readable, nothing else, no additional , suppose to
be,
eye candy artifact which would be unacceptable on a real aircraft. Yes, we
can
accept flat instrument.
We can notice some instruments on some models which are crazy and
unrealistic,
yes eye candy, but unusable. And i am not talking about the stupid
indications which could be given.
Does Flightgear is a simulator or a Van Gogh painting ?
The c172p is to me the first , since it it is validated by real pilot , and
probably the Tu-154b.
May be the A-10 and F-14b are right, may be not , as long a pilot did not
say
yes it is OK.
Please don't fall in the MSFS policy, when the eye candy is the main
approach.
I hope i didn't hurt anybody with my answer, in case of, i apologize.
Thanks for your work.
Alva
