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. Wink

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  Smiley

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... Wink

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.  Wink

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!  Smiley

Sean you are talking about a Traffic Collision Avoidance System?? I have a standalone one, but do you have a sample of one built into the VSI??

Jordan cant you wait? Still a secret   Wink

Actually I am planning two versions: a conventional business jet, and then a flying ambulance, with medical stuff in the back  Smiley

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  Wink )

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.

ilhtcas4.zip
@flightsim.com


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):
http://www.simviation.com/fs2004helicopters13.htm

It is a really excellent interpretation of a TCAS system.

you can find it here

It is the aiRadR30 gauge - with all its modules  Smiley works fine in fs9, but not yet tested in FSX
