I don't know how the real A-10 looks like, I'm having some 'historic'
documentation on the F-14 (including a really interesting book I bought
on a school trip to London, more than 20 years ago) - but this probably
still doesn't qualify for rating the cockpit model in FlightGear.
On the other hand I _do_ know, among others, the C172-cockpit which is
modelled here and I may tell you that FlightGear's C172 cockpit is done
quite accurately - the real ones do indeed look pretty cheap,
consisting of just a painted metal sheet with a plastic cover in the
upper region. Not only the cover is pretty realistic, also the gauges,
audio panel, avionics and switches are (the real switches are providing
a rather 'cheap' haptic experience as well).
Cheers,
Martin.
