Greetings from sunny Tampere, Finland!

We are constructing Cessna 172 flight sim based on a real C172 Skyhawk II fuselage:

Our sim is using Flight 1 C172 as a flight model:

My request concerns new 'special' virtual cockpit. I am not experienced graphic designer or cannot code G-Max myself
so I kindly ask your help for this.

We are running our simulator with a curved screen and 3 video projectors.

Would it be possible for someone to create a 'special' virtual cockpit for F1 C172. This virtual cockpit would only have prop in the center of the screen and in the sides you could see front section of the wings and wing support columns.

This method is used in almost all commercial GA Cessna flight simulators with curved screen and projectors.

If you could help me, feel free to contact me anytime via my email: robots@jippii.fi

With a help from my friend we have managed to get rid of the virtual cockpit + gauges but this also takes out all wing struts + wings.

Could this be done in 2D cockpit instead of Virtual cockpit?

Check out this picture (the gauges are just there for a reference):

Sincerely,
