Like I said western Cockpits do look pretty while the MKIs one has good functionality even though its looks can;t match
Another view of the typhoon cockpit, shows some switches and analogue controls
Mig 35
have to say looks decent
F 18 E/F Super Hornet. Front Cockpit.
Have to say even this is not on par with the EF, Gripen and JSF or Mig 35
The MFDs are LCD. They may need an upgrade though. But the MKI and Mig 21 Bison and Mig 27 upgrades have High Contrast LCD MFDs integrated by HAL, so that will not be much of a problem.
There is nothing that cannot be sorted out in the next few years.
Mki Cockpit
Its suffering from weight problems because the IAF needs more from the fighter than it initially wanted. And the more the equipment the more the weight. I think the current F 404 cannot handle the added weight of the AESA. May be that’s the reason why the IAF wants to wait for the MK2 before it places any new orders.
There is very little in the public realm with regards to the current avionics. The cockpit and HUD are state of the art. And HAL will consider the integration of newer avionics as the easier part. The MKI is heavier than a clean Su 30 so i guess it does. 😀 Then again it also has an engine and radar upgrade coming.
