• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

I've noticed that, too. Perhaps a bad example, but the HUD on the F-15C in LO:MAC has a sort of 'slider' which shows the air speed, and indeed how fast you're accelerating. Not a steam gauge, but the principle remains the same. Makes it much easier to quickly attain a speed and hold it, as you can anticipate how quickly/slowly you need to accelerate/decelerate. The Russian cockpits, on the other hand, are awful for that kind of thing. Only the digits are seen on the HUD, and they only change in multiples of 10. So, 120, 130, 140, etc. Very difficult when it comes to managing your precise speed.

I love analog. Reminds me of the WWII planes flown by our brave army dudes! :salute: I like the glass cockpits, but they still haven't managed to overtake my love for analog cockpits!
