A10c MFCD

[Reimer]

Hello,

First post here so if it's not belong here please forgive me.

I plan to make a compact cockpit for the A10c-2, and I found some information about the MFCD that I hope can help someone else. Basically it's the real datasheet from the manufacturer of the MFCD where you can find some basic information about the dimensions.

Hope this helps.

If you're building "compact", you should consider the Thrustmaster units. They are basically just missing the rotary off/day/night switch.

And they're A LOT easier to use than building a unit yourself.

Hi,

Yeah I know, for sure it's a first option that I have in mind for sure.

By compact I mean the cockpit not the MFCD. I will post it here once it's done.

The think is that I plan to put some screen in the MFCD (still researching cheap 5" x 5" screen panels) and I was wondering the size of the real ones, found this and share it.

Good luck finding a compatible square screen.  They're used to show live camera feeds of rocking horse manure being polished with unicorn hair cloths.

Most people use 4:3 ratio 8-inch monitors and hide the extra height.

I would suggest looking into "The Warthog Project" ( https://thewarthogproject.com/ ).  He uses a single monitor for the whole instrument panel, but with switches/buttons overlaid.
That solves a multitude of problems WRT things like the very complex ADI and HSI.

I'm aware of his project. Really cool by the way.

They're new. Last time I saw a square screen that size on Aliwhatever, it was over £200...

I found 5*5 inch screens just recently if anyone is interested
