Looks great, but since I have not been following, which aircraft are you constructing?

[JBaymore]

jrpilot,


Thanks.

It is a "generic" four engine commercial jet..... left seat only.

Lookin good John!
Can't WAIT to see the finished product!

[Ben_M_K]

Oh and BTW, nice choice of aircraft! I have a friend who flys those for a living!

PianoMan,

Thanks.  I can't wait either  ;D.

If I could have afforded it... I would have sompletely recreated the 1460200 cockpit.  I LOVE that aircraft.  But anytime you undertake an exact duplication.... you are talking BIG BUCKS.  The rocker switches for the overhead alone for the BAe would have bankrupted me.

I use the Jon Murchison one with the panels from Matthias Liebrecht.   It is available at the Aircraft Repaints New Zealand website.  IMHO this combination easily rivals most payware.

The version 3 BAe panel has just about all the real systems functional...... plane comes cold and adark by default and will just not start unless you do it "right".  And if you are not connected to ground power and are on the batteries... you have abouit 20 minutres to get the engines running  ;).

best,

wow, lookin good so far, that looked like a mix of 777 and something else (cant remember the a/c)

will your gear lever have 2 (UP-DOWN) or 3 (UP-OFF-DOWN)?

oh man, cant wait, your gonna have the biggest SimV meet ever when it's finished, lol.

Drumlineramos,

For the time being it will be up / down... but I put in the detent for the "off" position too.

best,
