The Attila object 702 Venti is a fighter aircraft of the German Reich, in service in different variants since 1933 to 1947.

Design

The Attila design is a monoplane with a cantilever fuselage and metal wings with metal control surfaces.
The fuselage and the landing gear are loosely derived from the Messerschmitt Bf 109. It's wide canopy enabled pilots to observe more ground action from the cockpit, for him to spot hostile ground materiel. This replaced the Messerschmitt type canopy from the experimental and A-C variants.
The D variant, as built features 1,100 hp inline engine and 5 machine guns (4 wing, 1 spinner) to ensure damage against hostile enemies.

3,757 were built, 205 survived up to this day.

Walkthrough

Happy birthday tone-deaf bard! This serves as a walkthrough for its VR-capable cockpit.
Here is the Venti's cockpit as designed.
kokpit
There are performance gauges. The upper ones are the altimeters, the artificial horizon and the speed gauges.
At the middle part has the lever for the landing gear, attitude and the clock that uses Time as input.
At the lower side has the fuel gauge, the RPM hauge for wheels and the turn coordinator. Next from the turn coordinator is the console for the turbocharger thst has gauges for engine power and engine RPM. The levers are for the turbocharger, fuel mixture and supercharter stage activation. They're cosmetics.
The levers on your left knee is the throttle and flap lever. At the far-left is the canopy lever and the rear-wheel steering activation switch. At your right knee is the trim lever.

I forgot. The landing is way too tricky, so land at your own risk.

That's it and enjoy the flight.
