Hi All,

I thought you'd like to see some pictures of version 2 of my cockpit.

I built it mainly from secondhand, spare parts and scrap.(except the switches and the interfaces)

There is no touchscreen. All of the switches and rotaries work With correct actions).

I have built enough panels (and indicators) to do a full start up plus ILS and TACAN.

The panels are built of alu-panel (aluminium composite) with printed vinyl skins.

Where possible the panels are full size and exact.

Thanks to Thierry, for the excellent panel PDFs, Gadroc for Helios and to everyone on this Home Cockpits Forum for ideas and inspiration.

 

Cheers

Matt

The HUD is on the main screen. It took a lot of adjustment to get the HUD image in the right place and the right size (from the seat position). It works really well. I was going to put a HUD screen underneath the mirror, but there's no need (other than the challenge of making an LCD display in reverse).

The screens are 55" NECs that came out of a refit job I was doing. The backlights are a bit tired (hence they are no good for professional work) but they are fine once they warm up. I built low level stands with castors so they are at the right height and easier to move around.

Cockpit MkIII

 

Hi All,

I thought I'd post a few photos of the pit now I have the MFCD screens and the DCS-BIOS driven LEDs working.

I built a canopy rail to hang the AOA and AAR lights from and also to provide some reference points when refuelling. It adds significantly to the sense of movement outside.

 

Cheers

Matt
