July 24, 201114 yr So with the fantastic video uploaded a few days ago now of the ngx cockpit, one of the real standouts was the sun effects and fingerprints/dust on the display units etc. That is super cool. Really nice job. A question which I think was asked but no one answered: Will there be an option to arrive into a 'clean' cockpit? It doesnt really bother me, but I might aswell ask. :) Cameron Lett
July 24, 201114 yr That would be nice. Since piltos always clean off teh screens periodically, I don't want a dirty cockpit when I can help it.... Inactive
July 24, 201114 yr Hey guys. When you are looking straight at the screens you won't even notice the prints so not to worry. JackColwill

July 24, 201114 yr - They have stated before that the cockpit will not be " clean". They spent many hours taking photos of a reali airline cockpit and duplicated it, dirt, fingerprints eand even skin flakes!Why?- because this is how a line pilots plane would actually look. Therefore, the clean look is NOT realistic in most cases. Peter Osborn

July 24, 201114 yr When I take over the world, I'm going to make every pilot keep their filthy, oily fingers away from the DUs and wipe them down after every flight if they want their type rating.

July 24, 201114 yr When I take over the world [...]Jack,If you use that statement on your President-Of-Earth campaign trail, you'll have my vote. :( Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
July 24, 201114 yr When I saw the video where the chronometer was being shown on the right side with a bunch of dust on it, a sudden urge to clean it came over me. Same thing happens in real life. I couldn't believe I got that feeling from watching a video of a simulation...Most of the time I just use my finger to make a smiley face in the dust, though. Dan

July 24, 201114 yr ANA pilots wear white gloves. I think they all do wear gloves over there.It's just the Japanese way of doing things :) It's the same for taxi, bus and train drivers. They all just wear gloves and some kind of uniform. Aurelien Vandoorine
July 24, 201114 yr always good to carry sanitizer wipes with you and give the good old yoke a wipe down as part of your cockpit prep checklistJamal Jamal Pratt Eastern Operations Manager| www.legend-virtual.org
