February 11, 200719 yr Ok I've enjoyed flying the Flight1 Addon for FS9 so much I want to built a home cockpit based on it. I have no idea where to start sourcing panels and Instrumentation. I am particularly keen to emulate the AOA indexer in the EADI and the nice autopilot.Any pointers will be gratefully recieved.David Miles
February 16, 200719 yr Hi David,You might get some ideas from my website as I am building a sim based (loosely) on the PC12. I don't think there is any commercial site offering panels specifically for the PC12, they usually stay with the more popular Boeing and Airbus series, so you'll most likely have to resort to self building as indeed I did. One thing you might find valuable is my zip file containing cockpit measurements. This sort of info is very difficult to find but I had the fortune to sit in the cockpit for a couple of hours with a tape measure.I don't know about modelling the AOA as I haven't gone into that much depth. I have just completed the Autopilot controller which talks successfully to the Flight1 model via Opencockpits hardware and FSUIPC. One thing that doesn't work is the Altitude selector, as it seems this is modelled within the Flight1 software itself and not via FS9/X. This is also the case for the Aeroworx Kingair. It does operate the default FS aircraft however.Regards and good luck,Ken :)http://www.kennair.comSYSTEM: PC1-AMD Athlon XP 3200, 1Gb RAM,NVidia 6600GT 256Mb AGP & NVidia 6200 128Mb PCI,2x17" LCD's, 1x20" CRT.FS9 & FSX, IOCards, FSUIPC,PC2-AMD Sempron 2400, 512Mb RAM, ATI 9200 256Mb AGP.ASv6.5, RC4.2/4.3, WideFS.
