Not photoshopped, looks more like an XPlane version of the cockpit. XPlane has very realistic, functional renderings of many aircraft cockpits.

I toured Wright-Patterson AFB in 1979 where they were already creating simulators that looked similar to the cockpit picture, except that the displays were CRTs. I would assume one big problem about having a glass cockpit would be shards flying around if the a/c took a hit and shattered the glass. I assume they have somewhat resolved that issue.
