F/A-18C cockpit layout 2D illustration which took me a year and a half to make

There's a massive version of this following illustration at a download page here: https://www.neoengress.com/downloads

 

You might be new to the Hornet and are just trying to get yourself familiarized with the instruments and panels, or you figured it'd be cool to have a large printout hanging on the wall of your study. Whatever the reason, the full sized illustration is there to help. A bit of courtesy would be appreciated if the copyright text doesn't get removed.

 

 

Like a lot of flight sim enthusiasts, when we started planning on our own cockpit last year we would search all kinds of keywords day and night and still couldn't find much with accurate info. And fast forward to present day, with all the geometry figured out and production-verified, we are confident enough to come up with this illustration.

 

It's probably the only one to date which is known to be generated with a CAD model of an actual working cockpit hardware. Every feature in that image is an accurate depiction of a physical part fabricated by machine. It took us a year and a half to make the drawings, build the real thing for verification, iterate on it, and then it would take about half an hour to render and prep it. Hope it will eventually help tighten your bond with the Hornet in some way.

Outstanding work, thank you very much!

 

At 72dpi, the long edge of this image would be a hair over 6 feet (183cm) long. I think it would look great on a wall and as a learning tool.

Nice.   You see something like this in Jetstream where the guys are sitting at home chair flying it for pit procedures.
