Altlas A400M
Probably not new news ... but a good shot of the new front office in the sim ... not unsurprising that it appears to be bog standard Airbus config by the looks of it
Seems a bit of a steep approach ... either that or the Sim Boss seen is hastily trying to reset the scenery
Pic from the RAF A$$book Timeline Page ...

Royal Air Force crews set to fly the new Atlas A400M airlifter are to be trained by a joint venture company set up by Airbus Military and Thales UK.

Another thought, though. Isn't the instructor Michel Roux, Jr?

And if I press this button on the screen the stick in front of the pilot pokes him in the eye.
"...the stick in front of the pilot..."
Still nothing will replace the C-130.

And the "feel" feedback through the Side Stick/Controller is very realistic ... Or it was on the A320 Sim I was lucky enough to have an instruction ride in last year (LF seat).

How very quaint and so last century. Maybe ancient devices such as C-130s use such an anachronism, but modern FBW aeroplanes most certainly do not.
