Wow, that cockpit took effort. I play DCS and own the F/A-18C module and can recognize everything in its proper place. Even what is on the MPDs is legitimate with the sole exception that the radar would NOT be scanning and radiating while there is weight on wheels. And as an aside, yes the DCS F/A-18C does have a Top Gun skin available for it.

Ace Combat player here, yeah I remember using those skins. Even did speed runs on the midnight trench mission, re-enactments of the dogfighting scenes in the multiplayer. Played religiously of course, but haven’t picked up in a while.
Drawing a Super Hornet cockpit might be more appropriate for a "Top Gun Maverick" reference.
I see some more things that could use some tweaking: The power switches for the MFDs and other displays are turned off. The Master Arm switch is in the "SAFE" position, but the SMS MFD says "ARM" in the middle. On the flight deck, the altitude should be somewhere around 60 feet, but the HUD says 1 foot, and the standby altimeter says 6000 something. XD

Are you... an actual Hawkeye FO? I thought I was the only pair of wings on here, don't see too many sim players who can nitpick that much.

It has been forever, but yeah, I spent a few years doing that when I was active duty. If you've messed with avionics, you probably know how having your switches not setup right can make things act weird. In the Hawkeye (at least in the 'C' models), the most embarrassing mistake was when people forgot to turn on the radome rotation switch. People could troubleshoot the radar all day, but the screen would be blank or have just one line coming out of the middle. XD
