i prefer pits like this. visually more cluttered, id agree but as a VR pilot, i can access more info i need this way than by a glass cockpit
2nd- i prefer older aircraft. theyre more interesting to me. while i have virtually all the aircraft axcept a few of the ww2 planes, i find the ones with glass cockpits hold my attention the least.
ive probably spent more time in the f-5 than the av8,f16, and f18 combined(cant fly the jeff yet. someday itll come to stable, but i anticipate it being more of the same) . perhaps the one i fly most is the mi8. i find the f14 a blast, when its not a slideshow ...so, the latest&greatest multirole aircraft isnt my thing
