The Evolution of Aircraft Cockpits

Digital displays were groundbreaking when they were first introduced in flight decks. Using X-Plane 11 and the iniSimulations A300-600R(F) ON THE LINE v2, we have a unique opportunity to explore the fascinating history of flight deck design in flight simulators.

Super interesting video, only issue is that it should really have more views

[simulationflow]

this is amazing ! keep up this very high quality content !

[orangejjay]

I can't believe this only has 2.9K views. Your channel is great. I've never been interested in the specifics of aviation but now I've stumbled on your channel and am binge-ing all your videos. Awesome work! Thanks for keeping these coming. :D

Wow, a really incredible movie! Keep in mind the first A300 models still needed a Flight Engineer and where lacking a FMS.

Amazing video and quality! Really enjoying the content.

Good job showing the positives of the new digital systems. Now we need one on the negatives. There are numerous videos showing the horrible things that can go wrong when a system mis-behaves or is mis-used. Pilots become busy trying to trouble shoot the systems rather than flying the airplane the old fashioned way. And even if they do revert to manually flying the plane they experience an unfamiliar situation and abnormal work load.

Only 145 views?! The videos are well-made, I really enjoyed your content!

Really good content! I couldn't help but think of Concorde multiple times throughout the video, as it surely must be one of the most advanced analogue electromechanical planes ever built, and had quite a few logic systems governing automatic functions, without any digitisation. A video on that with a similar format to this would be brilliant.

Yet another great video of yours! The enthusiasm you put into these videos is amazing, as I myself find this topic to be very interesting. For example the fact that even though having modern EFIS screens, Manufacturers still tend to use round dials for Engine instrumentations with coloured ares as in many cases not the actual value is important but the fact if this value fits into a certain range or not. Yet for an Airspeed indicator for example a tape with a big and prominent number is found to be most efficient. These concepts and ideas are what amaze me about aviation so much, as engineers have thought through every single bit of these huge machines to ensure safe and efficient operations.

Dude !! I love flight simulation. And everything about it.. this is such a good video. Lots of things I didn't know. Great job.

[Parkinwad]

Beautiful and well explained! Much appreciated! 🙂

[Luke]

very nice production, thanks for teaching

[boing]

Your channel is seriously underrated, you gained yourself a new subscriber!

[mohamedraafi_]

Thank you! Really benefitted from this video.

[mitchellkaye]

Excellent content and presentation. Thank you. Just subscribed

[pinethegangsta]

Finally a new video!! I couldn't wait for it to come out as always, excellent quality! Keep this up!

Once again you hit it out of the ballpark! I am a fan of history in general and more-specifically many aspects of aviation. You briefly touched upon navigation in terms of how the FMS allows pilots to maintain graphic situational awareness. Have you considered creating a video on the history of navigation - how we started by the stars, dead reckoning, NDBs, then VORs, CIVA/OMEGA (INS systems could almost be their own video) and then the evolution into what we have today? Cheers!

[audigit]

Nice Video and informative to me. Thank you!

[azizalkanderi]

Very informative and great quality .. keep it up bro :-)

I've never had the pleasure of flying in a glass cockpit for real, about as close as I get is an avidyne GPS, but playing with the G1000 in flight sim just feels like I've enabled cheat mode. Especially when you have things like synthetic vision, etc.
