C130-E cockpit

#1 Post by flyatr »

First steps for my C130 Hercules E cockpit are done. I'm using FSX and Captain Sim's C130.

I developed these engine gauges with Air Manager, 3D-printed bezels in a 3mm foam board:

That looks awesome, I love the look of steam gauges and the C130 certainly has a few of them.

Cheers

Thanks guys, all this has only become possible because of air manager.

Main instrument panel almost done with online store gauges:

Great work flyatr. The overhead looks empty so I'm guessing you have plans a plenty for that.

Keep the updates coming.

I also wanted to ask if all those engine gauges are on a single rotated monitor. If so how did you handle the rotation in software outside of AM or with customised gauges.

You should be able to set this up in your graphics card. This is my screen setup:

Dear flyatr,
My name is Stratos and I am planning to built a C-130H touch screen training device,as of that
I would like to cooperate with you if you accept it. I have seen your C-130 E cockpit photos and I have some questions regarding
instruments setup and aircraft performance.

Your cooperation will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance ,
Stratos
