I agree. The gear selector is an exact match, but it appears various other parts of the cockpit were cannibalized/replaced over the years.
Yeah, though most existing photos of F-101 cockpits (especially in museums) are RF-101s and F-101Bs, which have differences to the original TAC F-101A/C.

Yeah, but supposedly the one here is a C model. @el_Argentino
To add to my previous post, this model also has the “Oxygen Quantity” gauge in the same spot as the pic.

Yes, I saw the same thing. I just hope it’s not the wrong model.

Thanks; the only thing that remains to be seen though, is whether it as an A or C model, as this book page claims that the cockpits are nearly identical:

Shouldn’t this be the cockpit of the F-101A?
During a QnA, BVVD said that fifth generation aircraft were possible to add to the game (essentially addressing the people who claimed that they would be impossible to implement). He also said that if they were added, it would not be sooner than the second half of 2026, that is August or later.
Oh ok ok, now I understand ty buddy

How do i give just half of a like, theres beans >:(
Yeah, based on my minutes of research, the main differences between the 2 models is that the C is about 500 lbs heavier, is able to go longer on afterburner due to a new exhaust tube, and is able to hit 1 more G compared to the A.

From memory the A-7’s have a reduced capacity on the inner wing station, and as they are a wet station it wouldn’t be a common configuration in service.
