AH-64 Pit Project (WIP)


Krupi

Recommended Posts

I have been working on an extension of my Spitfire/Mozzie cockpit (Both which have been WIP) to include a Apache module. 

I never really had much interest in helicopters until I got the Apache and immediately knew I was going to be flying it a great deal.

So I purchased a Virpil Collective and started modelling.

The FWD Panel is not based on any dimensions, however I brought some panels from TekCreations which I used as a rough guide. I then modelled some spacers for use with MPD Frames which I have purchased from Total Controls.  

The LH Console is work in progress, I plan on developing the design so I can pull the Apache throttle and install the Warthog when required.

You can see the Spitfire Spade Grip "stowed" behind the FWD Panels. 

The Panels have a 3 degree angle on each side.

I am expecting the Total Controls MPD Frames to arrive tomorrow so I will upload another picture once installed.

Here is another shot of the TekCreations panels, showing what they will look like once fully installed. Technically I am a VR user so I don't plan on backlighting the panels.

  • Krupi changed the title to AH-64 Pit Project (WIP)

I received the Total Controls MPD Frames, fit like a charm 👍

Unfortunately I only got to try these for a wee while as I will be away for the next few days, but so far quite impressed and lucky to be one of the very first customers.

Thanks, the girlfriend was not happy! Even less happy when I bolted one of the dining chairs on to it, I did as... perhaps I was a bit vague in my explanation 😅

Yes, definitely the upper left Fire Detection Panel and the Alarm Panel, don't see me using the Enhanced Up Front Display so that is out.

I am working on the Lower CMWS Panel, I don't see much use in the upper one.

You will love the MPD's they are great fun, now I actually need to start using all the nifty things they allow you to do!

Made a little bit of progress with the Power Quadrant.

I temporarily hooked it up and the Lever Power OFF switches and Finger Lift switches are working as intended.
