Interdictor Canberra cockpit stand in

Recommended Posts

Gloster Javelin FAW9 cockpit by Sundowner and Veltro2k with a few changes to create a more suitable (IMHO) cockpit for the Interdictor variants of the Canberra. B(I).8 and B(I).12 etc

On my side I made a repaint of Zurawski's F-86F cockpit.
The main difference is I used the OpenCockpit entry, with its pros and cons.

Nice, I wanted to find a suitable British style cockpit from a twin engined jet to have the right amount of engine gauges etc. The ring and dot gunsight reticle is from a picture of a functioning Mk 3 bomber turret gunsight. The Interdictor Canberras used the Mk 3 N turret/ pilot (medium bomber) reflector gunsight. At some point it was modified for the Canberra to be "adjustable to aim rockets".

another suggestion would be the stock 3w Meteor F8 pit. Works nice for the stock Vatour, as well

The G-91Y Gina´s pit has the double engine dials and the same MATRA gunsight of the original plane.

It's a single engine aircraft?....

No. The "Y" is the double engine version.

Thanks !

Now it has the right gunsight.
I use the tga from the old Canberra pit, and just enhanced the colour.

The double engine gauges are missing, as well as a DME counter, but the size of the dashboard is ok for the model.

the gauges are just gone, or not showing? if it's a missing texture, open the LOD with a hex editor and search for the bmp or jpgs or tgas or what/whichever it uses.

No such issues, I misspoke.
I wanted to say that the F-86 cockpit doesn't have the double set of gauges for both engines, like the Javelin, the Meteor or the G-91Y cockpits.
And it doesn't have a range counter.

It's a quick fix, as the RPM gauge has a double set of needles, one small one large, so each engine has its own needle. And it doesn't make a difference in game.
And I doubled the values on the fuel flow texture, 0 to 24 instead of 0 to 12.
As for the range counter, I converted the side slip needle to a 0 - 60 NM indicator.

The original F-86 fuel flow indicator setting should be :

[FuelFlowIndicator]
Type=FUEL_FLOW_INDICATOR
NodeName=needle_fuelflow
MovementType=ROTATION_Z
Set[01].Position=0.0
Set[01].Value=0.0
Set[02].Position=80.0
Set[02].Value=0.278
Set[03].Position=159.0
Set[03].Value=0.556
Set[04].Position=242.0
Set[04].Value=0.8333
Set[05].Position=330.0
Set[05].Value=3.333
ValueUnit=LB
