We all know what another well known flight sim is, but even there they seem to pop up more in the front, like in those pics above. ON ED screenshots MFDs are way in the back, always in dark shadows- but maybe that's how real pilots see them, and I got the wrong impression all the time because of this 2D pics... :)
But if it's really the way they should be, I'm afraid they won't be as much fun to use, as in the Hornet... A computer simulation sometimes need to be a little off to a real-deal, in order to be playable.
