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>)
Thanks for the info. The Russian instruments appear to be a very different concept than we are used to. Would make a transition to Boeing planes more difficult. I have seen the "glass" via pics from the TU-214. Looks to be about set up as the west. I'm sure they can switch between meters and feet or knots and KM/h with the glass. Anyone know for sure?
