Historic aircraft Nav/Radio Equipment

[Pete_SMS]

Hi all,

I would like to do a poll with respect to historic aircraft navigation and radio equipment.

Most of the restored historic aircraft nowadays use modern retrofit radio and nav equipment, in order to be able to operate in a modern ATC world. However, this is not representing the old style navigation and communication anymore. Pilots, back in the days, did not have modern radios and nav equipment and more or less navigated by map, course and clock or used direction finders, where a needle was pointing to a radio station, giving a relative bearing.

I personally would prefer old style nav and radio equipment and to fly like the pilots had to, back in the days. If I choose an historic aircraft, I would like it as authentic as possible.

However, that might not be everybodies preference and therefore the poll.

Important: I would like to get voices from people who really like to fly historc and iconic aircraft and who would like to see more of them in XP. Their voices are the most important for me.I know we have a lot of people here, who enjoy flying commercial and airline style with modern equipment, glass cockpits, autopilot, GPS and FMS. That is fully OK, but this question is then not for you guys, because I already know the answer.

If you are also interested in historic and iconic aircraft, beside modern cockpits, vote for it.
