So I can get some thoughts on what would be good as a support for the MIP. I'm hoping Steve will share his MIP frame design/photos. As it's a design for building I need all the measurements and so on but on the other hand I'd love to see what it will look like when done.
CESSNA 172 COCKPIT TRAINER FULL
Don't know if I should go the full on look or just make placeholders for the gauges. I'm a bit hung up doing the gauges right now.
CESSNA 172 COCKPIT TRAINER SOFTWARE
If you want to take a look at the software it's available here Get Blender. I only did a bit of post work (gimp) for image enhancement everything you see here came from Blender though (Text/Lighting/Shadows/Transparency).
These can be what ever form of 'real world' measurement you like. It's a design program so you are working in 'Blender Units' when designing. It took me some time to get the stuff done I was doing though so I kind of passed on the kit idea. Objects like Knobs/Switches/Gauges and so on in a object layer and then you just copy and paste a panel together. I had once thought of making a Simpit kit for designing using blender. Does everything but there is a bit of learning curve for those that haven't used to it. Your own sim experience will tell you what you really want to have.Ĭool progress on the design looking forward to updates. From an overall design standpoint I would exclude ones you aren't ever going to use. I would pick the ones you are going to use but perhaps less then the ones you have easier access to. Just a thought you may want to consider carefully the controls (breaker) selection you place behind your yoke. I am going to add the Garmin 530 (perhaps twin panel) along with a mix of LCD and physical gauges though. As well bush planes are notorious for being a 'no frills' kind of flying. Gotta walk before I can run kind of my thinking. What is the software you're using to do your renders with? I'm building (currently still designing as you are) the Cessna 206H Stationair (non glass though). It's for the C206 but the cockpit is quite similar to the 172 and this PIM includes the Garmin 1000 (glass cockpit). I might suggest you take a look at a PIM I uploaded some time ago here.
That's very clever using the breaker panel as a way to add sim functions.
