Create a "Modern" Black Shark Pit

[walker450]

Anyone seriosly looked into making a pit that is dominated my MFDs, similiar to the AH-64d and Comanche helos? I imagine there is a way to extract info from BS and display it in a modern looking form like it would be in the latest attck helicopters.

 

Part of me loves the way the Blackshark takes you back in time, but part of me longs for the techy aspect of a Comanche. I think by designing a custom pit, and utilizing this awesome game, we could have the best of both worlds.

 

To elaborate, the touchbuddy app is approaching this idea. But, instead of making graphics of objects in the blackshark cockpit and putting them on the touchbuddy screens, a whole new graphical interface could be used. This new look could resemble something more modern. My best example is Grizzlie's pit (will link to it later); he modeled a Comanche but is playing hokum vs comanche... I would like to do the same but with BS.

 

Example: (Grizzly's)

You picked a great example with Grizzly's pit, I'm always amazed at the attention to detail he's shown. I think the answer is yes in the short term. you could emulate his design and use Touch Screens for displays and switches. I guess the "HOW" is the devil in the details and where I can't help lol!

I like things as close to the real thing as I can get. My pit is not as real as would like but it does the job.

mine is sort of inbetween both of these, I have all buttons and switches but i have changed the layouts and the way that data is presented, this makes the BS a lot more manageable.
