They are all going with large LCD displays nowadays; the 787, A380 and Bombardiers Cseries.

Looks weird at first  :)

The only thing i dont like is the color. Its too sterile. I much prefer the orange/brown colour you get in the 777/757

Reminds me of a Star Trek shuttlecraft.

Didya see those HUDs in shot 1?  Spiffy stuff.  Almost as funky as the curvy wings on the outside shots.  What's up with that?

Not exactly my cup of thea really. For me, a cockpit only needs a stick in the middle and a throttle on the left together with some analog gauges.  ;)
Raw power...the J-58.

I don't like the look of its exterior...although much of the general public doesn't care.

Then again I didn't like the first drwaings of the A380, but now that I have seen it fly it seems to look pretty cool, although nothing beats the 757 exterior  :o

Cool PMDG is working for boeing, i wonder how much that addon is going to cost? However the only thing I dont like about it is the PFD, looks too jumbled, however the hud is dreamy.
