Jetstream Rider,
It may interest you to know that besides his long-time input for Harrier & other cockpit displays, and of course his experience in the MIG 29, John Farley was going to ( I rather expect, did ) design the cockpit layout of Richard Noble's Farnborough Air Taxi project, which fell due to finance.
An ex-Flight Test chum had a job for a while helping design the Typhoon cockpit; it turned out much could be learned from computer games, which have to be simple & 3D for teenagers to fly spaceships !
