February 14, 200521 yr P3_Super_Bee is correct. The panel is from the AlphaSim release ... sort of. AlphaSim took the picture of the cockpit from http://mari.freeshell.org/ - The web site owner has since taken the picture down. AlphaSim created the canopy bow.. and added some horrible gauges. I modifed their release, added the gauges you see (which are the gauges that are in the Navy version of the T-34C). I added the mirriors from the BAE T-45 release (?) I think I found those here on AvSim. I then used the Navy's flight model on the AlphaSim's visual model. Basically, the only thing I'm using of AlphaSim is the external visuals of the plane, the canopy bow, the virtual cockpit. I think I even used my copy of the original cockpit picture I grabbed from Mari's site before she took the picture down. AlphaSim's flight model was fine if you've never flown the plane before. But it was too unrealistic for me.. Didn't roll fast enough, recommended power settings during landing, etc were fine for their model, but not what the Navy uses. You can see their panel here http://www.alphasim.co.uk/Shop_Factory/media/Mentor.jpg
