T-38C Instruments

#1 Post by Mustang 1-1 »

Hello, I fly the T-38C from milviz in Prepar3d v5, and there are two mfd screens

. One for many purposes and one for fuel/engine stuff. I will post pictures if I can. I was wondering if anyone can help me develop these or make them.
- Thanks!

Looks possible, but quite a lot of work, so probably not something anyone wants to do for free.

I would definetly pay for them. Do you have any experience developing? What would you think would be a reasonable price?

We do, but we're a business, so we certainly won't be the cheapest. Expect around €2000~€3000.

What an absolute bargain. That is purely the single MFD with 2 screen options I presume?

I was thinking like 100bucks at the most, why would it he so expensive?

Hello, how much would it cost to develop this gauge cluster?

How many hours work would you get for $100 vs how long would you expect each one to take? I’m sorry to say but this expectation is way off for a one off.

FYI it takes usually between 3 and 10 hours to draw the graphics, develop and test-debug a gauge.
Some more complicated gauges took more than 3/4 days (around 25 hours to develop).

Just do the math…
