What is really needed here is 'Glassiagra'. That should revitalize those old cells and let you appreciate younger stuff :pQuote:

I think it is related to the mystic of zillion of gauges nobody can figure out but PILOTS!!!
Hey!
I learned on them too and I find them more comforting to monitor.
In fact, it's no different navigating a 727 than it is a 172.
Looking at it from a real life stand point, you can see why they go glass instead of all steam. Just look at the 747 or example:
Steam
Attachment 2026
Glass (note: no Flight Engineer, cleaner)
Attachment 2025
and if you still like a Steam gauge cockpit, why not the DC-6
Attachment 2024
As you can see glass is cleaner, requires less people to manage, and easier to maintain. When a gauge spikes on a glass cockpit there is no searching for the indicator light or tapping on the gauge because you think it is stuck. However, steam looks really cool and complex (because it is).
Tap on that awhile...it's probably just stuck. :D

Thats just Bill Gates' private jet.
Actually, this is just perfect for a flight simulator. You can get rid of outside monitors or projectors and just display the scenery on these beautiful blue screens. Perfect for those with small spaces ;)Quote:
