Aw...my hopes were dashed upon reading the thread. :P

 

Found lots of iffy photos out there, some which were obviously just a mock-up. This was the only one I found that looks like it might be a photo of the real thing.

Here's a close-up from outside the canopy showing some details:

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Yeah same here, although they seem to outsourced the throttle, or CH is having something up their sleeve :D

I'm hoping CH is going to build a throttle not unlike what is in the -22, or at the very least what's in the F-15/A-10 which are very similar. I've brought it up to them on a number of occasions. Whether they listen is another story altogether.

This is also my hope... I'm planning to buy new hotas near in the future. Now I have cougar but I would like to try CH-products.

I watched a showing of a program on the tv, the other day on National Geographic HD. They talked about stealth, and new aircraft.

 

They showed a pilot in the latest F22 Simulator... and all the cockpit display's are Touch-screen.

 

(they said... the pilots cockpit in the F22 simulator is touch-screen, just like the real thing) In the show, it showed 2 very large Screen's side by side, and 1 each, on the lower right and the left.

 

Early versions of the cockpit were probly MFD's with buttons, but according to this show this is not the case now of late.

 

 

I have the show recorded in the DVR of the TV. I will take the snapshot and post it later..

Great, so the Raptor is finally coming close to the Rafale standards :D

 

Sorry, couldn't resist :poster_oops:

The Rafale will never catch up to the Raptor ... neither figuratively nor literally.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist ;)

 

 

Groove, looks like an F-35?

Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D

If the cockpit was rather sparse with two large screens dominating like Groove's screenshot, I would agree that it was probably the F-35. I wonder if the F-22B/C/D will be upgraded to large touch screens with no actual OSBs.

Right, because doesn't need to... neither figuratively nor literally ;)

 

By the way, apologies for starting this OT :surrender:

r-unit, not this one, right?

Groove that looks like it "but there was a real pilot sitting there and it was full motion" .

 

What was displayed looks different but yes, 2 touchscreens side by side, sepperated by about 1/2 inch line top to bottom, splitting the 2 screens....... where this pic is from ?

Posted

Isn't that the same cockpit as in Groove's picture?!!

 

That's probably a F-35 cockpit because we can clearly see canopy frame. F-22 has a bubble canopy, kinda like F-16! If you guys magnify a hoot74's pic you'll notice a F-35 shape INV display (second from the left)!

No, the one from Groove is from F-35. The one below from hOOt74 is from a F-22.

Uh...no. Both represent the same aircraft, and that aircraft is the F-35.

If you look closely and magnify those pics a bit you'll notice it's the same pit!

 

The only F-22 pits I ever saw have MFDs wit OS buttons. In other words I never saw a touchscreen MFD in a F-22!

You are right! Sorry my mistake. The canopy of F22 doesn´t even open like that.

 

The cockpits in the future will be all glass ones... Bah... Like most the old times...

 

Here you have a Su37 next gen;

It´s cleaner... bah... But I don´t like those glassy ones.

 

Best regards and thank you for correcting me. :pilotfly:
