As crazy as it sounds, I've been unable to find a large jet in 
FlightGear with a good, functional 3D cockpit. FGFS seems, however, to 
have a lot of potential, and I want to contribute if I can. I should say 
I have a lot more ambition than experience, but I may as well gain that 
experience here.

What I intend to do is model a 3D cockpit for the Antonov An-225, 
creating new instruments, using photographs of the cockpit in an An-124 
for reference. I can, to some pathetic degree, use Blender, and I have a 
reasonable understanding of the XML involved in making it all work.

Relevant information would be useful, if I'm not taking a dive into the 
Mariana Trench when a kiddie pool is more my level.

Eventually, all jets should have thrust reversers included, also.

Incidentally, I wanted to do this with the Tu-154, but it needs more 
work beyond the limited scope of my capabilities, IE with its flight 
dynamics and exterior model.

I have:
  • Completely remapped and retextured the exterior model. This may have been entirely pointless, but seems cleaner and can easily be retextured for any purpose.
  • Altered the sounds to better resemble the sound of a big jet. I think it was an easy, very effective fix.
  • Added primitive, untextured cockpit panels.
  • Separated the thrust reverser doors from the nacelles and added representations of the reverser vents underneath. I have not animated or coded the thrust reversers.
