bridge design - feedback request

This is probably more your style Richard. A mix of traditional and modern.

Some of the modern bridges lack a good workable layout for two people on the bridge when it's required.

Nah, not really Mike.

This is a oldtimer, ok, that has a old fashioned bridge with some electronics added where the space could be found. But good is different. On a new built vessel I would prefer the style and layout (with excemptions) I have posted in #9.
Like this one:


The monitors should face inwards a bit and the space in front of the wheel should sport only the motor management, tiller and thruster and be horizontal.

Ah, Richard, so you are a modernist after all.

Mission control style rather than olde worlde. And the watch has to wear reading glasses all the time, and dozes off in the chair.

Oh, hmmm, well,

maybe this is the more decent picture of the same layout.



said the modernist in me............

Ok, that's an entirely different picture And I like the master console too.

I missed the wheel in the other shot.

There are just a few major flaws in this design:

The engine controls are not paired

The plotter monitor does not belong there

The Radar monitors should be slightly angled towards the helm

The Radar keyboard has to be closer to the helm

The "dashboard" is too steep

But there is a tiller at the helm seat, and the radios are in the right position, thats good.

The second picture shows a sistership, therefore you could not see THIS wheel.
