The first time I got AC3 (The EU version), I thought that the whole set of fighters were unmanned since no glass cockpits.

Yeah, ORPHEUS is the name of the A.I..

It's a really social A.I., it always chatted with the mechanics during off-hours.

Oh, i understand why, well, the falken have holes in the cockpit, the forneus too, but maybe no-glass cockpit is only a design, at least big fighters can be UCAV too.
