That is why I like the steam cockpits (in sims). If you want to get something done, you press the switch with the label next to it

When I was much younger, my then HOTAS (Saitek X-45) was configured for most buttons on all three modes and some of them even had shifted function which ended in 6 functions for the same button.
I’m too old for this now and rather add some controllers/buttons to my setup / home pit

Can we just pause a moment to reflect how cool it is that we have either active or ex Harrier, Strike Eagle, Hornet, KC-135, and other aviators here on the forum to lend their opinions and expertise…! And I imagine all of them have flown other types too (T-34, T-45, etc…)…
Remind me not to challenge our members to a drinking contest…

Oh dear.
Sometimes I wish I was made out of money and/or had the ability to teleport.
I’d SO like to meet all of you one day. A Mudspike worldwide meeting/bar crawl.
But since it looks like we are indeed scattered over half the globe it probably will stay wishful thinking.
Perhaps in a few years in VR or so… 
EDIT: Imagining it:
Wife: What are you doing with the Riftv8 and the bottle of Whiskey?
Me: Ughhhh… Meeting the guys for a nice evening/morning/afternoon/night?

Based on the experience with the Mirage I would say a month or two.
There. FTFY.

I think the nice thing about the AV-8B is that with the VTOL flight model worked out, the systems side of it can be pretty bare but still be a really compelling early access bunch of gameplay to get. As RAZBAM have shown, adding additional systems and bigger features during the early access process seems to be a nice balance to just waiting till it’s all done. It also fits nicely with getting a B+ Radar at a later date as well. Bring on the viff!
You fly the Dash-8? I flew one too, some time ago. Unfortunatly in a seat in the back though

No SVS on the Global XRS unfortunately. The newer Global 6000’s have it though.

Dang…your PFD and MFD look quite similar to the Ultra actually. And that is about all that is similar though…LOL…
