Thats a link to some pictures of the cockpit.

Any takers? im planning to do a trans-atlantic flight in orbiter, inspired by Pilot783s FSX flight

I believe, Kev33 made a Spirit of St.Louis. Also, wasn't there a periscope ?

Oh yeah the periscope will be nice and there was a small side window.

Hey guys, change of plan. If anyone will make this they will get full credit for the add-on but they give the add-on to me first i'll fly it over the atlantic when im done we release. I'm really determind to do this. Any takers?

Didn't it have two side windows and a scope plus a sun roof?

By the way, anyone ever see the movie, and the debate if a fly is in the cockpit, but flying around, would it still add weight to the plane?
