JBizz VC...

[JakesF14]

Ok so far I,ve got a few gauges, and is working fine! tell me what you think?? the layout? suggestions? Still a lot to be added, but for a start - its my first VC





Sorry for the jaggies - it is from my notebook - no graphics card at all- only for testing purposes   ;)

Looking pretty good

Coming along quite nicely Jakes, keep up the good work. The throttle quadrant looks something from a big 4-engined commercial jet as opposed to a small bizz jet.

Thank you Guys,
Yes, I 've started to just alter the VC I've downloaded that Thomas Ruth(with his permission) made for the A340, but soon i"ve realised to adapt a VC is more work than making a new one. So I am building my own now, with just borrowing a few textures, ect. The flight yoke, pedals, and throttle quadrant is still untouched, except for the 4 throttle levers instead of 2. But I will cross that bridge when I come to it

Will their be a rear cabin?

If you are aiming for "realism," then consider that the GPS will never be where you have it. It will be installed where both the pilot and copilot can reach it...

Looking good so far! You may want to consider a TCAS that is either built into the vertical speed indicator or is a standalone gauge.

Thank you for the tips and ideas, I am a complete amateur when it comes to cockpit building. So I dont want to just copy the layout of an existing one, so all your input is much appreciated!

Coming along very nicely!

Not sure what you are planning to use for the auto pilot, but I would suggest the 737's system.

Easy and intuitive (at least for me  )

I've got to agree with Bill on the GPS, it would look much better with just one unit placed where you currently have the HSI & Altimeter.

Jakes,

Yes, a Traffic Collision Avoidance System. A very quick look pulled up this gauge on fs.com, but I'm sure we have a few here too.

Other than that, a standalone gauge is great too! As far as that goes, I'm guessing that you are thinking of employing that certain green radar one that everyone seems to use, but if I may mention a very nice variant of that....it is a similar system but is in color. Green for non conflict aircraft, white for nearby aircraft on the ground, yellow for possible conflict, and red for imminent conflict/collision threat.
It is found in the Chinook by Mark Adams and Tom Woods, on this page (fourth from top):

It is a really excellent interpretation of a TCAS system.

You guessed right, Sean, just added it last night. but I will download the one you suggest and check it out! Thank you very much for the help!!!!

I was planning to use this one

     

any comments??

I've never seen that gauge before, but I love it!  8-)

Where can I find that?

works fine in fs9

That's all that matters for me.   

Got the most of the rivet work on the wings done finally, I'll send you some shots soon.
