The airspeed was KM/Hr so you look down and are doing 300k. Sounds fast. Not. 186 Kts.
Vertical velocity was meters per second. 10 meters/second... hmmm 30ft/second.. times 60... jez... 1800fpm?
And they use an outside/in attitude indicator where the background is fixed and the airplane symbol moves. Again, different.
This is a sim reproduction but is fairly accurate as I remember. This is reportedly out of a Bear, a TU-95 but... it works.
Set up is not bad. Just different. (the not bad relates to the set-up, not the puke blue/green background also seen in old DC-9s <G>)
