Cockpit looks so good I keep crashing.

[Qcumber]

4 hours of flight time now and, apart from a few VR niggles that I working through, this module has lived up to all expectations for quality. 

My only real complaint is that the cockpit looks so good I keep getting distracted and crash. Look at the screws and paint detail. You can see brush marks!

You’re meant to gaze in wonder at all that while on the ground Q .

I know. But it looks so damn good.

Is there no autopilot available?

There certainly is.

You should check which lamps are 'push to test, rotate to dim'. Sorry, I couldn't resist - that's an inside joke - we put surprisingly high effort into getting all those 'push to test, rotate to dim' lights correct, including understanding which lights are like that, then understanding how they work - because they use mechanical dimming instead of electric/resistance - and finally modelling them correctly by our magnificent artists. Really, I suggest you try finding them all and adjusting their brightness - that's a very relaxing activity.

It does look good, inside and out, front and back .

I really haven't used the jets I have, barely flown em and systems are all still gobbledegook to me. I was planning to learn the Hornet, Tomcat and Eagle systems, oh and the Harrier but no. Too many screenshots of this and I had to grab it. I'm going through the training and have had a few little tear abouts in it. Jester bailing out is my G-warning at the minute . I'm loving it but he may be psychologically damaged so I'll try to rein it in a bit and stop swapping seats for the look round

That is for sure a highlight. I felt right at home, working in the past with a US made AD system which basically used the same press to test lamps, backlight caps, switches and so forth. Guess I had a bright grin on my face, dimming one of the lamps and seeing you got it so right.

I made sure to bind some of the lights. Quite cosy sitting in there with the dim red glow on .

Thanks to all of ya for bringing us this, we all get a phantastic phriday tomorrow.
