I think it looks great! Personally, I'm glad it's got analog gauges.

It is about to be 2010, there is no reason to have analog gauges in a privet plane, unless you have your plane nuclear hardened to withstand EMP blast....

Don't get me wrong it looks excellent! And would be a great addition to any FSX small plane fliers. And the gauges are so well done in the video that it look like the ones in my Lincoln Navigator.

You've got a good point, I just like my gauges that way. Embarrassed

Chris, its a Lear 20, they were not produced in 2010. Plus, many pilots that I know of still enjoy using "analog gauges" although it seems to no longer be politically correct these days.
Glass cockpits can be great, but the cost to mod old aircraft with them, in addition to the crossover training prevents this from happening in many circumstances. Don't worry, before you know it all pilots will have to do is press a button and the plane will do the rest at the rate we're going. Roll Eyes

I'm sure the day has already passed recently where we have a few pilots who would be lost literally and figuratively in a non-glass aircraft.

I can guarantee you, of the few remaning Lear 20 series aircraft out there, most still have analog guages and will continue so. Even the newest of these aircraft must be over 25 years old.

See I was not taking into effect that it was an older jet, it is just so well done that I was thinking it was a newer jet Cool

Forgiveness please? Embarrassed

That looks fantastic Tongue

I also like the gauges to be analog, especially in a FS it just makes it seem realer because you can do more with real gauges than virtual gauges which are present in glass cockpits. do you know what i mean?
