757 Avionics Upgrade....

[simunut]

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to find some info on the 757/767 flat glass upgrade. As of now, I have this page (http://www.innovative-ss.com/productdetail.asp?ProductTypeID=4&ProductID=11) as well a larger pic on airliners (http://www1.airliners.net/aviation-forums/tech_ops/read.main/230576/). Anyone has any other word.. or better yet the final pictures on what this puppy will look like?

Thanks,

Hey,

There are quadrillions (almost) of pics of these new cockpit upgrades under the 767 section in airliners and jetphotos.net. I was looking at them a couple of days ago.

I'm not a big fan of the upgrades as they kind of look like CRJs now.

Hmmmm,

Thanks for that info... All this time I was looking under 767-400 cockpits.. thinking that was the way the new pit was going to look like. I agree with you... I do not care for that CRJ look either!

If you go for the 767-400ER cockpit, than you might as well just build a 777 because the MIP is very close. But, you may prefer the specs of the 767...something I don't know and only you do :D

My goal is to make a mock up for the 757 specs as it is favorite airliner. However, I find myself deciding on how much of my planned pit will look like it came out of a 757. I'm thinking I may go the way of having a 'mutt' cockpit. While I like the standard 757 glass/analogue cockpit. I feel making/interfacing the analogue gauges x2 may be something I'd rather not bother with. I see the 674 dash with ogs x.xx a no brainer for simplicity but not for accuracy......

decisions, decisions!

In the end I think I will have a Boeing based pit flying the specs of a 757.
