November 30, 200520 yr After messing with various panels and designs, I have decided to trash my 737 efforts in favor of something smaller. Can anyone help with dimensions for a Cessna 441 Conquest? I have looked all over and can find nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Milt

You want to make something that makes your sim more realistic? See what you have, make the panel the width of your TFT monitor etc..Anyway, if you need dimensions, a good way to do so is to go to www.mikesflightdeck.com and see the dimensions -> instrument cutout illustration, then go to www.airliners.net and search for flight deck pictures of the plane you want. You know the size of the standard gauge, so the rest is just simple math..But if you want something flyable, it does not need to be a replica - those are two separate things really.//Tuomas
December 4, 200520 yr If you "trashed" your Boeing plans then you must have been thinking of a Jet. You can still feel the jet rumble if you go for a smaller, less complicated but very satisfying Learjet 45.It has suitable range, great avionics and the cockpit is very easy to build - NO COMPLICATED UPPER PANEL! Even the MCP does not use 7-seg display so you can live with the standard MSFS gauges and basic I/O hardware (switches + rotaries) and no output modules which makes everything VERY cost-effective. On top of it, the build time is very fast.See an example on my site here: http://www.excitingsimulations.com/cockpitHave funAl
