Search Lynx spaceplane cockpit

Not exactly an add-on request, but I saw a nice image of the Lynx mock-up with the cockpit arrangement and thought it might be useful as reference for others.

Looks retro enough to be fun and has 2 MFDs just like Orbiter!

"Cowl fire"? I doubt this mock-up is really more than a space filler. Cowl fire can happen on propeller or turboprop planes (And a few jets, that use this nomenclature for similar parts). The Lynx in the published configuration has no cowl.

Also the few parts of the cockpit seen on the Lynx homepage are different to this one.

The MFDs look pretty much like Garmin aviation instruments.

The layout also lacks some ergonomy... related instruments are pretty far spread out.

I think it looks cute and would fit a prototype shuttle, let's say from the late 80's, with some miracle "super computer screens" for the MFDs.:thumbup:

I agree that the entire mockup doesn't look very solid...
