Real or Fake?

Sometimes the simulation is so real that reality is unsure whether it is just a simulation. Which image is from a real cockpit and which is from the simulator? 

Picture A 

Picture B 

Both pictures have been taken on Jan 3rd. One over Northern Germany and one near the Dead Sea.

Not so easy, is it? Make a good guess.... :-)


Cleaning day!

Picture B is clearly a simulation. The OVHD of Skalarki / VIP has no illumination around the korries and switches compared to OEM

In my humble opinion, Picture A is the simulation fro 3 reasons:
1. the strong reflection of the pedestal in the windshield
2. the missing DDRMI in the STBY's
3. the DCDU seems to be a bit narrow
... and maybe the flood illumination on the MIP is a bit too strong for real pilots during a night flight

But the registration of the real aircraft won’t be „VIER IM POTT“ 😉😉
