Zakatak Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) I personally love how neat, tidy and somewhat minimalist look of the the Eurofighter's cockpit. It's pleasing to look at, all the buttons are well seperated and are easily identifiable by the shape and colors, and I can appreciate the amount of LCD screens as a geek. I do also like not having any buttons on top of the MFD's as well, 20 seems overkill for me and they take up possible screen space. I'd say the F-16 has the nicest canopy since there aren't really any obstructions to be found. The FW-190 is my favorite warbird cockpit, the ergonomic design almost makes it look like a predecessor to modern cockpits. I'm afraid I have to nominate the MiG-23 for the worst, it just looks like a goddamn mess and I'll never appreciate that sickly turquoise color, regardless of whether it can calm the pilot or not. What about you? Edited June 21, 2014 by Zakatak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFirehawk Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Nicest cockpits in my opinion, F-15E and F-117A: I like the F-15E cockpit because it's a nice blend of displays and analog gauges, and they are laid out pretty well. Same goes for the F-117A. And they are squared, another plus for me :) Ugliest cockpit, MIG-21: That layout and old submarine look aren't really something that fit my taste. Looks kinda messy and confusing.

tarracta Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 That color of the Russian planes is always terrible ... looks like a bathroom style from the 60ies... But Russians have never had a sense for beauty and design, only just functional, brute and nearly indestructible heavy-duty structures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey45 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 So you're comparing 70s tech to modern tech.....? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Sceptre Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Favourite pit: Probably the F-16. Force feedback sidestick, and tilted seat to increase pilot comfort and allow for more G load. Lease favourite: Cessena 152 because from personal experience, this cockpit is a really tight fit!
