I'm almost convinced you are a fake poster.

TOMB doesn't have an "off topic" topic any more. That's not a control room room. It looks like flutter echo hell, there's no monitors or sound treatment. I doubt the audio capabilities are very impressive at all. In fact, I'm surprised at how lame that thing looked considering that it's supposed to be a modern plane design.

What are you new?

There are several sets of headphones hanging off the backwall!

Didn't you see them?

Not many pro engineers mix on cans. Maybe it's you that is new?

you would think they'd get some more comfortable looking chairs for the people who fly the plane.

Hopefully, the guys just check for imaging with them. Probably cuts down on the engine noise too.

Humor's subjective, and some people just don't have any to begin with.

My practical question is why does the pilot have to be 'left-handed'?

Also, that joystick has a pretty 'fire' button on it. I did not know the Airbus A380 had any ordinance onboard.

Did you see the camera view from the tail of the aircraft forward along the fuselage? That monitor is mounted on the center console.

They don't.

It doesn't. That would be the autopilot disengage/sidestick priority button.
