B737: measures from oxygenmask etc.

[MjTom]

Hello,

I´m currently working on the sidewalls but something does go wrong.



I´m not able to transfer measures from cockpit-pictures to my homecockpit.
Cupholder, oxygenmask etc. are incorrectly positioned.
Perhabs somebody will be so kindly, to have a look at my measures.
.....where is bug?





thank´s and so long, Thomas

Hello Thomas,

One thing is the Oxygen Mask boxes, dimensions of the real ones is 147x114mm (top panel).
The other dimensions I do not know for certain.

HTH,
Marc

Hi Marc...

.....that´s a good first indication to clarify some of the inconsistencies!
I´ll going to test it immediately.

thanks

Hello Thomas,

I hope that you get it figured out 
In case you need other dimensions for the oxygen mask boxes, just let me know.

Best regards,
Marc

Hi, Andreas

That was the plan, I build the sidewalls. I was realy happy, to find this side.
Slowly, it comes light in the dark.
- the measures from cupholder must be bigger than 150mmx155mm, perhabs 185mm x 185mm.
- document pocket might be 160mm x 50mm.
- the post might be 80mm x 50mm



Now it looks more realistic, the hope is increasing.
I will show you the result after painting....so long, Thomas

In my setup, the cupholder measures 150 x 150 mm.

That´s exactly one of my problems.
I have a (bad) picture from a B738 and when the measures of cupholder are 150mm x 150mm
the measures from the sidepanel are wrong.
Can you please check measure a and b?



another picture from the PMDG:

Forget the PMDG for measurements!!!

Thomas,

the measures for both a and b are 170 mm.

Do you come to Lelystad this weekend for the FSWeekend?

Best regards,

Thomas,
the measures for both a and b are 170 mm.

ok, some measures from fagerjord-plans semms different.
170mm x 170mm makes sense and looks good.
my sidewalls must move ~6cm forward. Than, the rear sidewall looks also better.

Thomas,
Do you come to Lelystad this weekend for the FSWeekend?

.....no way this time.

edit: so it will look after modifikation:



Have somebody the measures from the document-pocket ?
I need it for better positioning the post.

so long, Thomas
