+dtmdragon Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 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 13 Quote
+Wrench Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 it has a proper sight now!!! good work!!! 2 Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 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. 4 Quote
+dtmdragon Posted February 26, 2023 Author Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) 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".

+Wrench Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 another suggestion would be the stock 3w Meteor F8 pit. Works nice for the stock Vatour, as well 4 Quote
Wilches Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 The G-91Y Gina´s pit has the double engine dials and the same MATRA gunsight of the original plane. 2 Quote
+Wrench Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 just thought I'd add this, for those that THIS comes to mind with 'Interdictor" is mentioned 2 2 Quote

+Cliff7600 Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 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. 2 Quote
+Wrench Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 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. Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited February 27, 2023 by Cliff7600 2 1 Quote
