USMCFLYR,
I had an instrument student in a new Cirrus SR22 perspective a few years back that had synthetic vision. A total game changer. In 20 years pilots will be amazed that we had the nerve to fly IMC with small hard to read unlit steam gauges.
I read an article a few years back that suggested that in the future we will not even have an instrument ratings anymore since synthetic vision is the same as looking out the window (better). New pilots will be taught to fly from day one by using the glass as the primary flight reference VFR or IFR. Traffic is on there too. Add infrared and you are flying the Bat Plane.
