F-111 Module build

Very cool!!!

Finally I have both Display and Instrument computers talking together on a shared LAN system that allows me to share the cockpit online and provides Instrumentation to both parties. I will utilize this for intergration of other systems and use the module as a multi crew fighter/bomber.
The instrument panel now displays better positioned gauges, however still fictional.
Hope you like it.

Very impressive!! What model you use?

Best regards,

Hi Anderson,

This is based on a F-111C cockpit I have used Alphasim F111 as the base model and designed panels from scratch.
Heaps more work to be done but it is starting to come together nice.

This is a very intersting build. Although my all-time fav military aircraft is the original Double Ugly Rhino, the F-4 Phantom, I love the F-111. Do you have plans to build more physical panels with controls? If so I would like to volunteeer to CNC some panels for you.... a good opportunity to get some more stuff on the machine table and help out the cockpit comunity in general. This forum has been very good to me and I welcome the chance to give back a little. I can't spend tons of time refining drawings, but if you have clean CAD stuff we can get some panels cut and shipped quickly. I just got some microcontrollers in that I was waiting on for some Igor Plug boards, so once a cpl of those are assembled and mailed to the guys helping test them out I should have some spare parallel cycles (there are no "free" cycles right now) to tool up panels and cut them out.

As a side note, the pics that you have posted are awesome. I know how much effort it takes to break away from doing real work to take pics and post them... We all appreciate it very much. Every post here helps make this the best site on the web for cockpit builders. There are other great sites, but this one seems to capture the spirit of the commited builders that advance our hobby, and great pics like yours help keep folks interested in different aspects of the building experience.

Thanks for the offer Buddy,

I am however in the process of doing just that and as you know its one **** of a fight. In answer to your question ,Yes i do plan on doing more panels and re-defining those that i already have; this is a continually evolving Sim. I plan on incorporation many other functions in the coming months and I hope I can do it justice.
Thank you once again for your support and comments I know doubt will keep you in mind.

Kind Regards

I saw this and remembered your project. Not sure if you're still needing the yokes, or what the going rate even is. I know you said the avionics wasn't the same, but I also figured that the control columns would be worth it if necessary.

Another find I saw while looking for MD-80 parts from one of my saved sellers. Hope it helps.
