Looks great, but the main ADI housing could use a bit of a meshsmooth!

 

Also, MachOneManuals carries the Hawk T1A manual

 

http://www.flight-manuals.com/bae-hawk-tmk11a-aircrew-manual-r11.html

 

No reference material like the original drawings from the manual, also a lot of technical information too for making avionics / functions. It might be available for free somewhere but I've found it well worth the cost of the two manuals I've bought. Search scribd.com first tho, there is a bunch of flight manuals there.

[+russouk2004 6,951]

Looking quite neat, you have a nice style of making stuff! Yes, at it's best making cockpits can be quite fun.. at it's worst tho.. 

[+sophocles 1,337]

Go Russ!!  Outstanding progress!

[+russouk2004 6,951]

Looking very good there Russ!

[Stratos 3,167]

Looks pretty good mate!!

[+Dave 2,318]

Holly shit Russ. That's sweet. 

[+russouk2004 6,951]

few more bits done. few random renders..after seeing the upcoming fantastic dcs mig21 pit I wondered why bother?...lol 

had to make all new texture jpegs to paint in case I dont get permission to borrow bits etc...so been remapping stuff...few more panel bits to make,and map then start on exterior,then seat,etc etc   got good pics for the pilots legs ,hands etc..

enjoying this,might even do back seat view to use...we`ll see..

Just awsome!!

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Yeah the DCS MiG-21bis cockpit is a wonder to be sure, as close to photorealism as one can get I gather. But your's is looking great indeed!

[+russouk2004 6,951]

got ideas for the cockpit,found great stuff for a worn pit textures...also few good items for reflections etc etc...gonna bust a gut on this...

[bandina 0]

This is a dream......I can't wait.....

[+russouk2004 6,951]

nearly done with right panel...then its onto,control column, then main cockpit spars,framing and bits n pieces,and front framing etc.after that.lastly seat,etc,and over shoulder view bits.

[+russouk2004 6,951]

ok...stick added...so many different pics of them...gone with this...all panels done(controls etc) apart from night lights which is easy to do later..

next main sides and front framing next...

[Centurion-1 1,228]

That is really good work Russ, and fast too! If you intend to do more Brit cockpits you certainly have your work cut out for you   (Tornado, Jaguar Gr....)

[+russouk2004 6,951]

Fast?...lol Im skinning as I go...thats one thing that slowed me down in past,mass mapping and texturing start to get tedious after a few weeks lol...this way more done,and mapped\textured bit by bit...

[+russouk2004 6,951]

Rudder pedals...nearly forgot them...just got to add the mechanisms for them...which reminds me...if memory serves,we only need animate canopy to match external model animation?...throttle,stick levers etc are ini driven I know..i think lol

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Yeah correct. You can use the animationID=X method for other stuff too for example gear levers and stuff, anything that might have a more complex animation. Anyways, looking good!
