I have some drawings that show the top of the autopilot 100 cm off the floor. If I recall though the outside view is actually below the ap somewhat. Does anyone know how high the monitors should be off the floor?

I guess .. that you forgot to mention .. something (*hint* type of aircraft);)

ahh sorry 777.

Then I have no idea. Perhaps contacting Claude Kieffer could help ? My guess is, if he doesn't know ..

here's a visual of my setup. I cannot seem to find the web site where I got my drawings from.two 19" monitors on top - outside viewstwo 15" monitors in the middle - PFD, ND, EICAS, FMCE6300 @ 2.4 ghz, 2 gig RAM, GF 7600GT video.Laptop is Intel M 1.3 ghz, 1 gig RAM. AMD 3200, 1 gig RAM, Radeon 9800 Pro.will eventually enclose PFD, ND, EICAS etc.. I hope to get a 20" lcd and GO Flight AP, radio and throttles of some sort.

ahhh finally found it, though I have a couple more drawings of the pedastal dimensions that I don't see here.http://users.skynet.be/porreke/CockpitDimensions/index_2.htmside view shows 100 cm from floor to top of AP. I guess the monitors should be located somewhere between 0 and 100 cm, but how high is the question.Also wondering what the distance on 17 degree angle of the mip to get the proper 17 degree angle.
