Hi everyone,

I am very keen on creating my own set of 2-D panels for the PMDG B777 for use on my 14-monitor  touchscreen setup (6-monitor cockpit + 8-monitor visuals). It can be done using the FSUIPC offsets that Pete (Dowson) has just released for this aircraft.

However, before I can proceed, I would need to find a good high resolution 2-D panel bitmap of the cockpit. Rather like the cockpit layout posters one can purchase (in paper-printed form) from Avsoft:

I would be grateful to anyone who can provide one or help me locate one. Please PM me if you have any suggestions.

Thanks so much.

Chakko Kovoor.

Hi, Chakko,

 

There's a free set of panel files available here:

You will want to contact him before using, or at least read his requirements for use.

 

You should also definitely read the following thread, especially post #12, by Ryan, a PMDG representative:

Hello Mike,

Thanks for your response.

I am aware of Ryan Maziarz's post, and I am familiar with the whole 2-D panel discussion, but, in any case, thank you for reminding us all of the restrictions.

The 2-D panels you have referenced are, unfortunately, far from adequate for my requirement, as they contain only the a part of the captain's main panel and a small part of the overhead. I would require bitmaps covering all the simulated areas. Nevertheless, thank you again for the suggestion.

Regards,

Chakko.
