I support all your thoughts about classic aircraft and the "monotony" of modern aircraft cockpit layout and ergonomics. However thinking outside the box of the classics and moderns that CS have produced there is a format that CS have dabilled with and that's the high tailplane format. Yes the 727 was produced but it was a bit of an one shot venture. Something that has a good deal of complexity in its systems and in the delivery of power, coupled with a short takeoff capability and is totally different to fly is the Vickers VC10. The "Vicky 10" being British built and "old-school design" would be totally different from the rest of CS's stable and with a civilian/military pax/freight/tanker/combi would add simulator variety.
