Enola Gay cockpit

Cool find Ickie!

If anyone (Gnoopey?) was contemplating an FSX Superfortress, this would doubtlessly be invlauable in VC design.

thanks!

The first person who can make a VC that has every single 3D detail there (plus good framerates!) wins. :)

Astonishing pic, really nice to see.

It's cool how the pilot has a set of throttles for his left hand, like a giant fighter. I noticed the Boeing 314 Clipper was so equipped as well. Great find, Ickie.
 
Interesting. It would seem that this VR pan was done before the new Air and Space Museum opened. There are hardly any aircraft visible in the hanger. This place is a must see.

That is a great 360 view. It matches some pictures I took over in November of "FiFi" when it came out to the AOPA Aviation Summit. I would love to see a B-29 FSX project. From left to right: engineer's station, pilot station, bombardier station, general view from navigator's position.

Check out the following thread for more 360 degree views.

P.S. Could someone change the thread´s title linked above to " 360º cockpit views " please.

I wonder how many miles of wiring is in that baby?

One must question whether these aircraft were cost effective. Each aircraft was hideously expensive, at over half a million dollars apiece, or five times as much as a Lancaster. Each required over thirteen tons of aluminum, half a ton of copper, 600,000 rivets, nine and a half miles (15 km) of wiring, and two miles (3 km) of tubing.
