Here’s the first of a series of updates on the A300B4 Professional MSFS development at Just Flight workshop, focusing on the flight deck’s graphical improvements. Over the past few months, the lead artist has meticulously recreated the cockpit’s intricate details, including each gauge and needle of this 1970s aircraft. The artist has aimed to provide an authentic, lived-in feel, with individual weathering and discolouration on each panel, knob, and screw, staying true to the real-world aircraft references.

This update covers the centre pedestal, starting with the forward section that features the Carousel IV Inertial Navigation System’s (INS) Control Display Unit (CDU) on either side. These data displays have been individually modeled for authenticity. For modern alternatives, users can swap these for the UNS-1 FMS. Moving rearward, the pedestal includes stabilizer trim wheels, a large speedbrake lever, a combined flap/slat lever, conventional throttle levers, and various switches and buttons for essential controls like fuel cut-off, parking brake, and take-off config test.

Further back, the centre pedestal houses the A300’s communication suite, with VHF control units, a transponder unit, audio selector panels, weather radar controls, ADF navigation radios, and lighting controls. The rear section includes a SELCAL controller and large knobs for rudder and aileron trims. The conventional layout is complemented by the unique character of mechanical displays and the varied wear and tear from unit swaps over the aircraft’s lifetime. Next, the update series will focus on the forward panel and autopilot.
