Cockpit Font

Featured Replies

Hi guys.

 

I'm helping a team over at x-plane.org do a 3D redesign of the cockpit, and I'd like to know the exact fonts and their weights used throughout the cockpit. I understand the font is probably Futura but the Light version appears too thin and the Regular version appears too thick.

 

I also get that the Condensed version was used for the MFD panel left of the MCP, and on all buttons on the MCP.

 

Can I have this info, please? Thanks much.

Full names in the PMDG forums please.

 

Short answer, probably not.  I do not represent PMDG but their EULA prohibits any kind of reverse engineering, and this might be considered something along that line.

Futura is indeed the standard Boeing panel font. You'll just have to play around with the weights until it matches because I doubt you'll get info from PMDG.

 

You'll have a better chance matching the weights directly with photos of the panel instead of PMDG's version though, because the resolution is still limited to what FSX can render out.
