I apologise for the long silence. We have finished the Comet 4 and all 5 aircrew stations work [P1, P2, Nav, Engr and wireless operator]. It is an outstanding piece of work by Mike and a full HD video will be released shortly showing all the Analogue gauges that were home made. It is the only Comet 4 Simpit in the world and was filmed for the Channel 4 "Comet Disaster" documentary last year.
The new project is a single seat fighter with a glass cockpit - strewth, this is new territory for us. This is a nose section rebuild again, and it is a British Navy Sea Harrier. I am trying to find 2 items:
1. A 7 inch GPS for FSX [no bigger than 7.5 inches wide].
2. A glass MIP for a single jet engine fighter [single engine is not that important for a glass MIP], again no bigger than 7.5 inches wide.
We do have a head-up display so we are considering a switchable MIP/EFIS which I have seen on the web, but I cannot find it again. Your help as always would be appreciated.
Charlie.
Amazing to see that there are other pits than 737.
Would be very interesting to see some pictures.
Congrats..
