The conventional XF10F gauge is temporarily applied.
For gauges of known size, adjust the background scale to determine the width of the instrument panel.
This will be the basis for the dimensions of the entire model.
This image is the virtual cockpit of a new flight sim model that I am currently working on.
This is the airplane model I really wanted in a flight simulator.
I think you can guess what model it is from the image .
It is no exaggeration to say that I have released seven types of aircraft so far because I wanted to build the flight sim model shown in this image.
The flight sim model construction is really bothered.
Once this model is completed, I would like to be freed from this hobby for a while.
So I want to build a very nice model.
For some reason, this model has not existed in FSX models, whether paid or free, until now.
However, it seems that this model was said to be the most excellent fighter in American jet fighter history.
It looks sharp and cool, but no one has ever built a flight sim model...that's strange.
I think my own 3D model building skills have improved considerably.
The time has finally come to build it.
So I am thrilled now.
Recently when I build a new airplane model, I start by building the instrument panel.
This is because it is no exaggeration to say that the width of the instrument panel determines the dimensions of the exterior model.
Previously, we started building with an exterior model and then built a virtual cockpit based on the size of that exterior model.
The result in most cases is a very spacious virtual cockpit with a wide canopy.
When viewed from the outside, the balance between the size of the pilot and the canopy is very poor.
That's very uncool.
The virtual cockpit is the most visible part of the simulator, and the unnatural cockpit size is very uncomfortable.
The cockpit size is surprisingly unknown.
I have never seen a cockpit blueprint with dimensions in a book or online.
The only way to measure it is to sit in a real airplane.
Or in most cases, you can only judge the size of the cockpit or instrument panel based on your imagination from the photo.
Fortunately, however, most of the gauge sizes around the world are, and have always been, the same size.
Most aircraft use gauges that are approximately 8 cm and 6 cm in diameter, and these sizes provide a fairly accurate estimate of the width of each aircraft's instrument panel.
You're lucky if you have accurate drawings of the instrument panel, etc.
Also, if you have a good photo, use it as a background using 3D software, and then line up an 8cm diameter gauge and a 6cm diameter gauge.
This will build a cockpit of approximately the correct size.
Based on this cockpit, the canopy size will be determined, and the overall size of the plane will be determined.
After that, fine adjustments are made based on the publicly available dimensional data, and the exterior model is completed.
By following this method, anyone can build a VC and exterior model of almost exact size.
The model I'm currently building is almost entirely built from scratch, so I don't know how long it will take to complete it.
I'm not in a hurry, so I want to take my time and enjoy the construction process.
