X-Plane Fan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 It looks like this. Note the retractable glare 'splitter' in the center. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nimrod77 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks for that Xplane! Any chance of some through the windshield? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Plane Fan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 You can't see much looking through the glass. It's too small of an area with too much glare. Here are two others that might help. You can see the windshield defrost vent in this view: And in case you wonder what the underside looks like: Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Platycqb Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 So what was the use of the "divider"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) The divider prevents reflections between the two planar (flat) windscreens. The F-106 has a similar windscreen, and has a divider for the same reason. edit: the F-106 divider looks to be fixed (vs retractavle in the SR) Edited January 6, 2015 by habu2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
