In the game we have radar and RWR overlays, that are used in 3rd person view (AB & RB) and even in the cockpit view (SB) by many players (because the actual cockpit MFDs are not easily readable when looking at the world through a computer monitor with a limited resolution):

However these overlays (For radar and RWR) are generic and look the same for all planes.
While there are valid reasons that some players might prefer to use these simpler generic interfaces for all planes, I think there should be an option to allow the players to swap these generic interfaces for the actual historical interface that is shown on the plane’s MFDs in the cockpit view.
I.e. to see the historical MFD radar and RWR interface as overlays in 3rd person as well as cockpit view, instead of these generic radar and RWR overlays.
And make it two separate options (one for the radar overlay and another for RWR overlay) for maximum flexibility.
As the game has progressed into more modern planes, we now have planes with such nice looking MFD interfaces for radar and RWR display in the cockpit:
Apart from the fact that these MFD radar and RWR interfaces sometimes provide useful information that are not provided by the generic radar and RWR interface, given how much effort the devs put into designing and modeling these historical MFD interfaces, isn’t it truly a pity that most players (in AB, RB and even many in SB) don’t have the option to use these nice looking historical interfaces from their favorite aircrafts, instead of the bland generic ones?
